You are managing a highly complex drug manufacturing project and your
sponsor is highly motivated and influential. You are optimistic about
the outcome of the project, however, you are not sure about the
project approval requirements that measure the success of the project.
So, you would like to document the name of the person who signs off
the project and the criteria that constitutes the success of the
project. Which of the following documents should you use to
incorporate project approval requirements?

A.The scope document
B.The project charter
C.The approval requirement plan
D.The project management plan

B --> PC , since the project charter is created during the initiation
phase, and also PC can provide information about internal and external
parties involved in and affected by the project, such as project
sponsor(s), customers, team members, groups and departments
participating
in the project, and other people or organizations affected by the project.

The precise answer is requirement management plan but since it is not listed as option, I would go for D : project Management plan.
Requirement management plan (approval requirement plan is made up term) is part of project management plan and it is responsible for planning, tracking and reporting requirement. It also includes configuration management plan that is used for managing changes, analyzing change impacts and authorization levels to approve changes.

Sudeep

A: Milestone list doesn't contain any details about the activity.
B: N/w diagrams are created after activity estimations. Also, n/w diagrams don't take about activity estimations. The Q is talking about significant difference.
C: Cost estimates are of no use in duration estimation
D: Activity attributes give more details about the activity. Question is really asking: where do I look at to clarify and fix this issue.
Hence, D seems to be the ans

  Q- You have been assigned as a project manager to a software project. While you and your team are working on a WBS (work breakdown structure), estimations for activity durations based on the activity list vary significantly. Which additional documents may help you clarify this situation?


Milestone list and scope baseline.

Project schedule network diagrams and human resource plan.

Activity cost estimates and scope baseline.

Activity attributes and project scope statement.


My Answer - D (define scope o/p - scope statement which will be use here)

2. 7 days to 19 days

EAD = (P+O+4M) = 13 Days
SD = (P-O) = 1
Six sigma , so 6* SD = 6

so activity duration is 13+/- 6.

In the above question we need to crash 3 days
 
For Task M Crash cost for one month is 100$ >>>>>> it can be be done for One month =100$
For Task N Crash cost for one month is 50$  >>>>>> it can be be done for Two month =100$
For Task O Crash cost for one month is 50$  >>>>>> it can be be done for one month =50$
For Task P Crash cost for one month is 200$  >>>>>> it can be be done for one month =200$
For Task Q Crash cost for one month is 50$  >>>>>> it can be be done for Three month=150$

Now go to option
1- Task Q will take 150$
2- Task N and Task O will take 150$
3- Either Task Q or Task N and Task O both will take 150$ each so THIS IS THE CORRECT ANSWER
4- Task N and Task P will take 300$

so it is obvious the 3rd option is correct hope it will help u ..

thanks and Regards

Dear Mad,

In the project charter, everything is in high level, you should go to project management plan for details.

The answer should be C

As per my understanding: for crashing we check what critical task(s) will give us the required number of days (in this case 3) and then add the crashing costs for those tasks, minimum crashing cost will be selected to crash the tasks.

Am I missing anything?

Thanks,
Raman

The answer is B.
Project Management Plan is mainly for PM to manage project. the sponsor/customer doesn't even need to think about it. 
What he needs what is end product/result, does it meet the expectations.....

Siva Kumar.
