You are the project manager of a project that has a budget of $875,000 and you have completed 40 percent of the project work.

Suggested Answer: D

Beth, the project manager, is responsible for communication with all stakeholders. According to the

for the communications.

information.

Wait, wait, wait... did the question say the project budget is $875,000 and they've spent $425,000? That sounds like a recipe for disaster! I'll go with C. .82.

Haha, I bet the project manager is wishing they had a time machine to go back and fix those errors! Anyway, I'm going with D. -$187,500.

Ugh, I'm not sure about this one. Too many numbers to keep track of. Maybe I should have paid more attention in my project management class.

I would go with C) .82 as well, it shows that we are not performing as well as we should be

Hmm, I think the answer is C. .82. That's the cost performance index, which is the ratio of the budgeted cost of work performed to the actual cost of work performed. Simple enough!

I agree with Sophia, .82 makes sense because we are behind schedule and over budget
