Actual exam question for ServiceNow's CIS-SPM exam

Question #: 39
Topic #: 9

Which property controls the changes in cost and resource plans with respect to the change in the start date of a demand or project?

A'Change Resource Plan, Cost Plan and Benefit Plan Start Date with Demand or Project Start Date Change'.

B'Enable altering of planned date for task in WIP/Closed'.

C'Rollup project start date from tasks'.

D'Calculate ROI percentage based on a project's estimated cost and its net value'.

Show Suggested Answer

Suggested Answer: A

According to the ServiceNow documentation1, this property controls whether the start dates of the resource plan, cost plan, and benefit plan are automatically updated when the start date of the demand or project is changed. If this property is set to true, then the plans will be shifted by the same number of days as the demand or project start date change. If this property is set to false, then the plans will not be affected by the demand or project start date change.

C sounds familiar, but I can't recall if it specifically relates to cost plans or just project timelines.

I'm leaning towards B, but I feel like it might not fully address the cost changes related to the start date.

I remember practicing a similar question where we discussed resource plans, so A seems like a strong candidate.

I'm not sure about this one. I'll need to review my notes on project management concepts to see if I can narrow down the options.

I'm pretty confident that the answer is A. The question is specifically asking about how changes in the start date impact the cost, resource, and benefit plans, and that option covers that directly.

Okay, I think I've got it. The key is to focus on how the start date of a demand or project affects the related plans. Option A seems to be the most relevant.

I'm going with A. It's the only one that specifically talks about adjusting the plans when the start date changes, which is what the question is asking about.
