PMI-SP Exam - Topic 9 Question 92 Discussion

Actual exam question for PMI's PMI-SP exam

Question #: 92
Topic #: 9

You are the project manager for your organization. Management has asked you to document the holidays, weekends, and other corporate working hours, which will supersede the project timings for your schedule. Which calendar will communicate to the project stakeholders, when the project work will take place within the organization?

AProject calendar

BResource calendar

COrganizational calendar

DCompany calendar

Show Suggested Answer

Suggested Answer: A

The float for Activity I is three days. The early start for Activity I is Day 17 and the late start for

Activity I is Day 20. Therefore, the difference of

the early start and the late start reveals the float as three days. It is possible, and acceptable, to use

the difference of the early finish and the late finish to find the float, as the value will be the same

amount. Answer options B, D, and C are incorrect. These are not the valid calculation for the total

float.

The Organizational calendar includes holidays and weekends, so it makes sense.

Wait, are we sure the Company calendar is the right choice? Seems vague.

I vaguely recall a practice question where the company calendar was mentioned, but I don't think it covers project-specific details like the organizational calendar does.

I feel like the resource calendar could also be relevant, but it usually focuses on individual resources rather than the whole organization.

I'm not entirely sure, but I remember something about the project calendar being more specific to the project itself.

I think the organizational calendar might be the right choice since it outlines the overall working hours and holidays for the company.

I've got this! The organizational calendar is the way to go. It will show the company's holidays, weekends, and other working hours, which is exactly what the question is asking for. Easy peasy!

I'm a bit confused by this question. I'm not sure if I should choose the resource calendar, the company calendar, or the organizational calendar. Can someone help me understand the differences between these options?

Okay, let me see here. The question is asking about communicating project timings, so I'm thinking the project calendar would be the most appropriate choice. But I'll double-check the other options just to be sure.

Let's be honest, the company calendar is probably just a fancy name for the organizational calendar. I'm sticking with C, no need to overthink this.

Organizational calendar, for sure. It's the one that'll keep all the stakeholders in the loop about those pesky corporate holidays. No more surprises!

I'm pretty sure the resource calendar is just for individual team members, not the whole organization. So I'm gonna go with the organizational calendar on this one.

The organizational calendar seems like the obvious choice here. It's specifically designed to capture all the corporate working hours and holiday schedules.
