Q. 1344: Consider a company that sells products to consumers: as one product begins the deterioration and death phases of its life cycle (or the divestment phase of a system), new products or projects must be established. This means that
A. The company requires a continuous stream of projects to survive
B. The company is not at a high level of maturity
C. The company is in a period of overall decline
D. The company definitely lacks a balanced portfolio
Section: Mix Questions
Justification in favor of the correct answer:
Organizations that rely on products for their revenue must constantly be introducing new products into the marketplace as old products are removed. Ideally, this should be an overlapping process to maintain balanced or increasing revenue over time. The closure phase evaluates the efforts of the total system and serves as input to the conceptual phase for new projects and systems. It also has an impact on other ongoing projects with regard to identifying priorities.

Q. 1345: You are in the process of performing quality assurance on your product and find that some requirements are not as complete as they should be, which causes rework and adds costs to your overall project.

A. Life-cycle costs
B. Expected value
C. Cost of conformance
D. Cost of quality
Section: Mix Questions
Justification in favor of the correct answer:
Cost of quality involves both the cost of conformance and the cost of non-conformance. Examples of the cost of conformance are divided into two categories prevention costs and appraisal cots (includes inspections). Costs of non-conformance include internal failure costs and external failure costs.

Q. 1346: The project scope baseline should be used in the identify risks process because it:
A. Identifies project assumptions
B. Identifies all work that must be done; therefore, it includes all risks on the project
C. Helps organize all work that must be done on the project

Q. 1347: Although there are various tools and techniques to consider as you collect requirements on your project, one approach that supports the concept of progressive elaboration is:
A. Idea/mind mapping
B. Affinity diagrams
C. Prototypes
D. Joint Application Design® sessions
Section: Mix Questions
Justification in favor of the correct answer:
Prototypes are used to obtain early feedback on requirements by providing a working model of the expected product before it is built. Stakeholders then can experiment with this model rather than discussing abstract representations of requirements. This approach supports progressive elaboration, because it is used in iterative cycles of mock-up creation, user experimentation, feedback generation, and prototype revision.
