Which of the following techniques is used in businesses to determine the effect different costs or
investments have on profit and other financial indicators?

A.
Schedule analysis
A schedule network analysis is performed using the schedule to compute the different
scenarios, such as extending specific engineering durations, or delaying a major component
delivery. Businesses use what-if scenarios to determine the effect different costs or investments
have on profit and other financial indicators.
Answer option A is incorrect. The schedule analysis is the review of the schedule, but does not
examine other possibilities for completing the project work.
Answer option D is incorrect. The root cause analysis helps to determine the reasons why the
project is running late.
Answer option B is incorrect. The resource leveling causes the project’s duration to increase. It is
a technique that resolves resource conflicts by delaying tasks within their slack allowances. The
resource leveling is the process in which project teams come across problems when developing
their project schedules.
QUESTION 208

Allen is the project manager for his organization. He is reviewing the resource requirements for his
organization. He has discovered that his project needs Henry, the application developer, for two
months, but Henry has a conflict and is already scheduled with another project manager in the
organization. This is an example of which of the following?
Resource competition

B.
Resource leveling
Matrix organization

C.
What-if scenario analysis
Resource requirement

D.
Root cause analysis
Resource constraint

Explanation:
What-if scenario analysis explains the analysis of the question “What if the situation represented
by scenario ‘X’ happens?”. This What-If Scenario Analysis shortly named as WIS

Because this project needs the specific resource of Henry, the application developer, and Henry is
not available, it is considered as a resource constraint. Recall that a constraint is anything that
limits the project manager’s option.
Answer option C is incorrect. A resource requirement is simply the need for an application
developer.

Answer option B is incorrect. This is likely a matrix organization, but it is not the best answer for
this question.
Answer option A is incorrect. While there may be some competition for skilled resources, such as
Henry, the application developer, it is not the best answer for this question.
