Question#2

B. yes C all projects require the use of software to track data
C. no C the use of software may not be required for smaller projects
D. no C software should never be used as a project management tool

Reference: CIPS L5M8 Study Guide, p.71.

Question#3

Tractor Ltd is a technology firm which has launched a new R&D project with the intention of creating a new software package for its clients.

What type of method is being used?

A. project diamond
B. waterfall
C. agile
D. Lean

Explanation:
The Agile methodology promotes adaptability, collaboration, and iterative development. Daily “scrum” meetings are a hallmark of Agile. It contrasts with Waterfall, which is linear and sequential. Project Diamond concerns customer expectations, and Lean focuses on waste elimination.

A. redundant resources including personnel
