1. PMP EXAM
SAMPLE Q & A

2. You are facing problems decomposing the testing work package into the final activities required to complete the
work package. Detailed testing plans and activities cannot be determined until the system is at least 50%
developed and more details become available. The system development work package will take at least three
months to complete.

What is the best way to resolve this problem?
A. Use product analysis techniques such as product breakdown and systems analysis to decompose the system
testing work package
B. Decompose the system development work package now and decompose the system testing work package
later
C. Break down the project into multiple phases so that the system testing work package goes into the second
project phase
D. Consult the project management plan to determine what to do in this situation
HINT: Which of the available choices describes rolling wave planning?
Question

3. The correct answer is B.
Delaying the decomposition of the system testing work package until later in the project is an example of rolling
wave planning. Rolling wave planning is an iterative planning technique in which the work to be accomplished in
the near term is planned in detail, while the work in the future is planned at a higher level.
Decomposition may not be possible for a deliverable or subcomponent that will be accomplished far into the
future. The project management team usually waits until the deliverable or subcomponent is agreed on, so the
details of the work breakdown structure (WBS) can be developed.
Therefore, the best approach is to use rolling wave planning and decompose the system development work
package now, and then decompose the system testing work package later, when more project information
becomes available.
