WGU Project Management C722, Unit 4
Module 12
The project contract offers the contractor a bonus to complete the project
early, as long as the scope is met, quality is not decreased, and budget is not
exceeded. The amount of the bonus is based on how many days early the
project is completed. Is this acceptable?
Yes
No
Maybe
Since the bonus is based on the number of days the project finishes early, it is
a type of cost savings. The bonus can be considered a percentage of savings,
not a set amount, so it must be verified that government regulations permit
this type of bonus compensation. Depending on those regulations, this has
the potential to go either way. - correct answer ✔

a. The desired result for a project
b. Project assumptions
c. The quality of a project - correct answer ✔a. The desired result for a
project
, True or False:
The triple constraint means there needs to be three justifications to change
anything in the project. - correct answer ✔False: It means scope, cost, and
schedule
True or False:
In the quality constraint, the customer can always revise the quality level to
reduce costs or schedule. - correct answer ✔False: There are sometimes
government mandated safety levels. In addition, reduction in safety level can
lead to litigation if there are any injuries related to quality defects.
True or False:
A project scope is an instrument used to view and evaluate a project. - correct
answer ✔False: Project scope is a description of everything the project
includes
True or False:
It is alright to have scope creep because it provides a better product or service
to the customer. - correct answer ✔False: Correct! Scope creep should
always be avoided because it will negatively impact cost, schedule, and
quality.
True or False:
Scope creep is an expansion that occurs with changes to the scope that are
not documented in a change process. This affects schedule and cost.
Therefore, it is alright if scope is reduced without documented changes. -
correct answer ✔False: Any changes to scope must be documented. If
scope is reduced without documentation, then the required quality may not be
met, and the product of the project will be unacceptable.
