Q. 771: Different types of project phases are used on projects, and each phase culminates in the completion of at least one deliverable. The high-level nature of these phases means they are an element of the project life cycle. Some phases start before others complete. If this approach is followed, it may result in:
A. An increase in the number of issues
B. Increasing the schedule
C. The need for a CCB
D. More rework
Section: Mix Questions
Justification in favor of the correct answer:
The question is an example of an overlapping relationship between phases. It is used to compress the schedule through fast-tracking as an example. By overlapping phases more resources may be needed, risks may increase, and more rework may result if a significant phase progresses before the accurate information is available from the previous phase.
