[All PMI-SP Questions]

You are the project manager for your organization. You are working with your project team to

develop the project schedule. You would like to automate much of the scheduling by using Microsoft

project. Microsoft project as a scheduling tool is an example of what tool and technique for the

Develop Schedule Process?

Show Suggested Answer Hide Answer
Suggested Answer: B

According to the PMBOK, automated scheduling tools expedite the scheduling process.

The scheduling tool is used in combination with manual methods or further project management

software to carry out the schedule network

analysis to produce an updated project schedule.

Answer option C is incorrect. The project management information system is the complete project

management software package beyond just

the scheduling portion.

Answer option D is incorrect. This is not a valid answer.

Answer option A is incorrect. While the software may be made available as a part of organizational

process assets, the best answer is the

scheduling tool.
