You are refining the product description for your company’s new line of ski boots. Which of the following statements is true?
- A.
You are in the Initiating processes of your project and know that the product description will contain more detail in this stage and that a decreasing amount of detail will be added to it as the project progresses.
- B.
You are in the Planning processes of your project and know that the product description will contain less detail in this stage and greater detail as the project progresses.
- C.
You are in the Planning processes of your project and know that the product description should contain the most detail possible at this stage, because this is critical information for the Planning process.
- D.
You are in the Initiating process of your project and know that the product description will contain less detail in this stage and greater detail as the project progresses.
Correct Answer
D. You are in the Initiating process of your project and know that the product description will contain less detail in this stage and greater detail as the project progresses.Explanation
In the Initiating process of a project, the product description is expected to have less detail. This is because the project is just starting and the requirements are not fully defined yet. As the project progresses and more planning and analysis are done in the Planning processes, the product description will gradually contain greater detail. This is because more information will be gathered and the project requirements will become clearer. Therefore, the statement that "You are in the Initiating process of your project and know that the product description will contain less detail in this stage and greater detail as the project progresses" is true.Rate this question:

This means that Close Project is performed both when a specific phase of the project is completed and when the entire project is finished. It is an important process in project management as it involves finalizing all activities, completing documentation, and obtaining formal acceptance of the project deliverables. By closing the project at the end of each phase and at the end of the project, the project manager ensures that all necessary tasks are completed and the project is formally closed.Rate this question:

Time, schedules, and quality
- B.
Time, availability, and quality
