Question 230
The project manager encounters this predictive delivery challenge: A team estimates an airport terminal renovation as one unstructured activity with unclear interfaces. Which result should be used to validate improvement in the stated situation?
Explanation
Correct Answer
“The WBS covers deliverables and named package ownership without omitted interfaces.” is meaningful evidence for “A team estimates an airport terminal renovation as one unstructured activity with unclear interfaces” because it demonstrates the practical outcome of “Decompose the deliverables into a work breakdown structure with manageable work packages.” instead of merely recording that work took place.
Incorrect Answers
“Approved requirements and backlog acceptance checks show what language coverage is committed.” could measure performance for “A customer expects multilingual service while the team's backlog only specifies English screens.”, yet it is not direct evidence that “A team estimates an airport terminal renovation as one unstructured activity with unclear interfaces” has been resolved through “Decompose the deliverables into a work breakdown structure with manageable work packages.”.
“Stakeholders see ordered items, acceptance criteria, and explicit release choices.” could measure performance for “An agile product team treats every idea in a brainstorming session as immediately committed scope.”, yet it is not direct evidence that “A team estimates an airport terminal renovation as one unstructured activity with unclear interfaces” has been resolved through “Decompose the deliverables into a work breakdown structure with manageable work packages.”.
“Sampled datasets meet documented completeness, integrity, and signoff thresholds.” could measure performance for “A regional data migration proceeds with no agreed definition of what a completed dataset means.”, yet it is not direct evidence that “A team estimates an airport terminal renovation as one unstructured activity with unclear interfaces” has been resolved through “Decompose the deliverables into a work breakdown structure with manageable work packages.”.
