  Which are the competing constraints that a project manager should address when tailoring a project?

  A. Cost, scope, schedule

  B. Sponsorship, risk, quality

  C. Schedule, sponsorship, scope

  D. Resources, quality, communication

  Correct Answer: A

  Explanation: Tailoring is necessary because each project is unique; not every process, tool, technique, input, or output identified in the PMBoK® Guide is required on every project. Tailoring should address the competing constraints of scope, schedule, cost, resources, quality, and risk. In addition, consideration of whether the customer of the project is internal or external to the organization may affect project management tailoring decisions. Sound project management methodologies take into account the unique nature of projects and allow tailoring, to some extent, by the project manager. However, the tailoring that is included in the methodology may still require additional tailoring for a given project. And that brings us to the end of Tailoring.n

• Question 1058:

  The activity of tailoring is necessary because:

  A. The members of the project team is need to select the appropriate order of every tool, technique, input, and output listed in the PMBOK Guide; this is required for all projects.

  B. Each project is unique, and the members of the project team should select the appropriate tools, techniques, inputs, and outputs from the PMBOK Guide.

  C. The members of the project team need to understand the PMBOK Guide processes, which are applied to all projects.

  D. Each project is unique, and the project team must plan how to apply all the tools, techniques, inputs, and outputs in the PMBOK Guide.
