Question text

Identify the correct statement about the project lifecycle:

a. all organizations must use the same lifecycle for similar projects.
b. it is the sequence of phases that goes from the beginning to the end of the project;

Correct. Let's take the opportunity to remember the characteristics of the life cycle:

The cost and staff levels are low at the beginning,

reach a maximum value while the project is being executed and
they fall quickly as the project is completed;
The influence of stakeholders, the risks and the
uncertainties are greater at the beginning of the project and decrease as
long ago;
The ability to influence the final characteristics of
project product, with no significant impact on the
costs are higher at the beginning and become lower over time
as the project progresses towards its completion.

c. independent of the organization's business area;

d. presents a higher level of cost and personnel usage at its outset;

Feedback

The answer is:

It is the sequence of phases that goes from the beginning to the end of the project.

exclusive to the organization.

Independent of the business area of the organization - The life cycle is completely
influenced by the organization's business area.
It presents a higher level of cost and personnel usage at its beginning - Wrong
