Senior leadership determines the location of the outputs and who may access the contents
The project team stores the outputs in a location that the project manager can control and limit changes
The project team determines a location that is accessible for relevant stakeholders to view and track
The project manager establishes the location and allows the customer to view and make recommendations

Question 102 - Qid 6113155, Resource Management, 1. People, 9.0 Project Resource Management

The resource management plan for an international project calls for a scrum team to be colocated during the regular workweek. However,
after five sprints were completed, the project manager got a change request approved to cut costs by transitioning the team to a virtual
environment working remotely from their homes with the start of the sixth sprint.

After the team begins working remotely, what will be the best method to understand the impact of the change on the team's productivity?

Check the product burndown chart to look for any changes to the trendline
Calculate the CPI at the end of each sprint to determine the change in the team's productivity
Review the product burnup chart to compare velocity before and after the change
Update the project schedule network diagram to reflect the changes in the team's environment

Question 106 - Qid 6113623, Schedule Management, 2. Process, 6.3 Sequence Activities

Two team members are arguing over how to organize the work packages in the work breakdown structure (WBS). One says the work
packages should be arranged in the order the work is planned to be carried out, while the other insists the order of the work packages in the
WBS does not matter. The two ask the project manager for advice.

What is the project manager's best response?

Work is decomposed and sequenced in the Define Activities process.

Any approach is good as long as the team members avoid the conflict.
The chronological order of tasks is defined in the Sequence Activities process.
The approach should be defined by the project management office (PMO).
