Linear programming is a mathematical model – an example of constrained optimization. 1 is an example of benefit comparison. 2 is an example of benefit comparison. 3 is an example of benefit comparison.

Product analysis consists of product breakdown and functional analysis. 1 is incorrect as expert judgment relies on experts to develop portion of the detailed project scope statement. 3 is incorrect as this is not an example of the WBS creation. 4 is incorrect because the scope has not been created yet.

Henry and Marsha are proposing different approaches to completing the project. 1 is incorrect as forcing means one person is forcing the decision in their favor. 2 is incorrect as Marsha and Henry are contributing ideas, not relying on someone else to make the decision. 4 is incorrect as Marsha and Henry are not in a power struggle for their solution to be selected.

An investment, such as purchasing faster computer equipment, is a business risk because it can have a positive or negative outcome. 2 is incorrect as the cost of quality describes the expense to ascertain the expected quality. 3 is incorrect as a product requirement describes the requirements the project must adhere to. 4 is incorrect; an assumption is when something is assumed, but not proven. Assumption can become risks, but this is not the best answer in this scenario.

This is part of integrated change control. 1 is incorrect because configuration management doesn’t fully answer the question. 3 is incorrect because scope change control is part of integrated change control. In this question you are examining the impact of a change on all knowledge areas. 4 is incorrect because while this may qualify as effective project management procedures, integrated change control more fully answers the question.
