I thought a CPI less than 1.0 meant the project manager was cooking the books. Guess I've been watching too many crime shows!

The CPI value less than 1.0 indicates that the project is actually costing less than expected. That's like getting a discount on your project!

I’m really unsure about this one; I thought it could also relate to scheduled performance being great, but that doesn’t seem right now.

If I recall correctly, a CPI under 1.0 means costs are higher than planned, so it must be A.

I remember practicing a question like this, and I think it was about cost underrun, but that seems counterintuitive.

Alright, a CPI less than 1.0 means the cost for the completed work is less than the estimate. That's the definition of a cost underrun, so the correct answer is C) Cost underrun of performance to date. Nailed it!

A CPI less than 1.0 means the cost for the completed work is less than the estimate. So that's a good thing - it indicates a cost underrun. I'm feeling pretty good about this one.

Ugh, I'm a bit confused on this one. Is a CPI less than 1.0 good or bad? I know it has something to do with cost, but I can't remember if it's an overrun or underrun. Gotta think this through.

Okay, let's see. A CPI less than 1.0 means the cost for the completed work is less than the estimate, right? I'm pretty confident that's the right answer.

Hmm, a CPI less than 1.0 - that's tricky. I think it indicates a cost underrun, but I'm not 100% sure. Gotta double-check that.
