• Question 71:

  Identify the business case that would support the creation of OBS elements to align with WBS elements within individual project plans.

  A. Legal/regulatory requirements that prohibit users from seeing data across functional areas maintaining smaller sets of project data

  B. Mitigate the risk of significantly variant project management skill levels across an organization

  C. Large projects with multiple cross-functional learns that will be responsible for updating/maintaining one set of project data

  D. Supporting data export/import process to minimize risk of degrading schedule quality

  Correct Answer: C

  Explanation: A work breakdown structure (WBS) is a hierarchical arrangement of the products and services produced during and by a project. The project is the highest level of the WBS while an individual activity required to create a product or service is the lowest level. Each project in the enterprise project structure (EPS) has its own WBS. When creating a project, the project manager typically develops the WBS first, assigns work products and documents to each WBS element, and then defines activities for performing the element's work. Specific earned value calculations can be specified for each WBS element, along with an organizational breakdown structure (OBS) element responsible for all work included in the WBS element.

• Question 72:

  You are an application administrator that has been asked to create a portfolio for an executive. You create the portfolio and have the user test to see whether it meets requirements. However there are a couple of projects that are missing. You look for the portfolio, but it is no longer visible to you. What is the cause of this problem?

  A. The global filters for the portfolio must be refreshed.

  B. You do not have read/write access to the portfolio.

  C. You created it for one user, and you are not that user.

  Correct Answer: C

  Explanation:

• Question 73:

  Identify three best practice uses of Notebook topics.

  A. To document processes

  B. To explain a constraint

  C. To send out an email alert

  D. To explain baseline update

  E. To change user access

  F. To update actual costs

  G. To provide status information

  Correct Answer: ABG

  Explanation:

  A, G: The Project Notebooks portlet is where all the project level notebook topics are shown in one location. This is especially helpful if your business process is

  consistently used to show reasons for delays, reasons for change orders, or other significant project communications.

  B: Primavera has functions, including Notebook, that enables you to note information associated with an activity, including the reasons associated for establishing

  a constraint.

  Note:

  *

  Notebook topics are predefined categories in P6 that help to organize your project notes.

  *

  The notebook topics in Primavera P6 provide team members with a history of all that happened in the project, whether it was a schedule delay due to rain or the

  breakdown of equipment.

  *

  Notebooks exist not only for Projects, but also can be added to any EPS, WBS, or activity. So, for example, you could create a notebook that describes the

  purposes and objectives of each WBS element. These notebooks could then be gathered together in a report, which outlines the project by WBS, using the

  notebooks as summary paragraphs.

• Question 74:

  Calculated project user-defined fields __________and__________.

  A. are created by system administrators

  B. are managed by Configuration Management

  C. are associated with formulas

  D. are viewable in either the web interface or client

  E. are defined in the web interface and only viewable in the web interface

  Correct Answer: CE

  Explanation:

  C: The Oracle Primavera EPPM Web Access product contains a functionality where by users can create their own calculated values and dashboard indicators for monitoring project KPI's. This is achieved by creating Project Calculated User Defined Fields. The formulas which can be populated in these fields is similar to a formula used in some spreadsheet applications e.g. Microsoft Excel. Providing a simple and effective platform for creating all manner of organisation bespoke project indicators.

  

  Note: User-defined fields enable you to customize fields and values and add them to the project database.

• Question 75:

  Select the true statement regarding currencies.

  A. Only one base currency is supported per database.

  B. Currencies are updated daily per exchange rates.

  C. Only 10 currencies are supported in Primavera.

  D. Only two currencies are supported in Primavera.

  Correct Answer: A

  Explanation:

  The base currency is the monetary unit used to store cost data for all projects in the database and is controlled by a global administrative setting in the Project

  Management module. The default base currency for Primavera is US dollars ($). The view currency is the monetary unit used to display cost data in Primavera

  and is controlled by a user preference.

  Note: All costs are stored in the Based Currency. All costs are stored in the Base Currency and all other Currencies are calculated values using the Base Currency

  value and conversion rate.

• Question 76:

  Identify this window.

  

  A. Portfolio

  B. Portfolio view

  C. Dashboard

  D. Project statistics

  Correct Answer: B

  Explanation:

  When you choose or create a portfolio, it opens in an analysis view. P6 keeps track of which view you were last using with each portfolio and by default always

  opens that last view for each portfolio.

  An analysis view consists of two screens showing portfolio data. The screens can be oriented horizontally or vertically.

  Also, note that in analysis view there are always exactly two screens displayed.

  Example:

  

• Question 77:

  Identify one filter enhancement in P6 R8.

  A. Apply multiple filters simultaneously

  B. Create filters with no more than three criteria

  C. Cut, Copy, and paste filters

  D. Assign filters to unique, single activity views

  Correct Answer: D

  Explanation:

  New in Release 8.2 include:

  * Is Under filter: This is a new property used in filtering data which lets you filter by location of an item within a hierarchy. For example, you can filter for activities only under a certain WBS (Work Breakdown Structure) node.

  See figure below:

  

• Question 78:

  The Open Requests for Resource's portlet lists unstaffed assignments involving roles on the selected role team. Identify two ways that the portlet display can be organized.

  A. Role by Project

  B. Role by Resource

  C. Project by Role

  D. Resource by Project

  E. Resource by Role

  Correct Answer: AC

  Explanation:

  This portlet has a number of customizations. The first choice to be made is to show open assignments on all projects or just those within the filter for this

  dashboard. The Organize field allows a user to define how the listed open assignments are sorted and shown. The drop-down list offers views where open

  assignments are shown as:

  *

  Roles with open assignments project by project (A)

  *

  Projects with open assignments role by role (C)

  *

  Roles with open assignments, sorted by project, and sub-sorted by project codes

  See figure below:

  

  Note: The Open Requests for Resources portlet allows users to show which activities on projects have only a role (that is, engineer) assigned and need a resource (that is, David Jackson) assigned by their Manager.

  Note 2: A variety of pre-defined portlets come with P6.

  B. There are limits to the number of Activity Step templates in the database.

  C. Activity Step templates are the place where resources are allocated and assigned.

  D. Activity Step Templates are governed by global security.

  Correct Answer: A

  Explanation:

  Requirements for using weighted steps to calculate Activity Percent Complete All of the following must be in place

  *

  The Percent Complete Type for the activity that is using weighted steps must be set to Physical.

  *

  In the Project Management module, a project-level option must be turned on.

  *

  Weight values must be specified and work progress must be reported for each step.

  Note: Activity Step Templates to define sets of reusable steps common to many activities in a project or across projects.

• Question 80:

  You are working with a customer that has had Primavera P6 running in a global instance for four years the customer has asked you to come in and review the instance to identity opportunities for optimizing the system. As you look into the coding libraries, you see much duplication of project codes. You recommend that the customer come to consensus on the duplicate codes and values, and then eliminate the redundant codes.

  What functionality should you utilize to minimize the potential disruption to the user base?

  A. Send out communication that the codes will be eliminated.

  B. Eliminate the codes and manage usage issues by exception.

  C. Document, usage of each code and value in filters and views.

  D. Merge the codes rather than eliminating them.

  Correct Answer: D

  Explanation:

  Note: Project Codes allow for grouping, sorting, and filtering projects. They are used extensively and allow you to organize your project in many ways, particularly for reporting and when performing portfolio analysis (See Chapter 11, Portfolios). Think of codes as categories or labels; they can be used individually or in combination to group or give totals for different categories in reports or portfolios.
