2.The human resources manager ensures that a project uses approved technologies and vendors.
3.In creating a new information technology (IT) related system that includes the acquisition of new computing and/or networking hardware, the hardware takes longer than expected to arrive at the installation site. In the context of risk management, this is an example of an unknown risk
4.The make-or-buy decision compares the advantages and disadvantages of in-house production versus outsourcing of a given product or service.
5.Project integration management requires the assimilation of all eight other project management knowledge areas.

Answer 1

1.False
RATIONALE: Development of a work breakdown structure (WBS) is another approach to defining the scope of a project—work not included in the WBS is outside the scope of the project.
2.False
RATIONALE: The information technology (IT) manager ensures proper IT staffing for the project and ensures the project uses approved technology and vendors.
3.False
RATIONALE: Known risks are risks that can be identified and analyzed. For example, in creating a new IT-related system that includes the acquisition of new computing and/or networking hardware, a known risk might be that the hardware will take longer than expected to arrive at the installation site. If the hardware is delayed by several weeks, it could have a negative effect on the project completion date.
4.True
RATIONALE: The make-or-buy decision is a key decision made during the plan purchase and acquisition process. The make-or-buy decision involves comparing the pros and cons of in-house production versus outsourcing of a given product or service.
5.True
RATIONALE: Project integration management is perhaps the most important knowledge area because it requires the assimilation of all eight other project management knowledge areas.
