Gary is the project manager of the GHY project. He has elected to use a previous, but similar,
project to guide him and the project team through the estimate activity duration process. The
previous project schedule could best described as which one of the following?

A.
Organizational process asset

B.
Lessons learned documentation

C.
Process input

D.
Predecessor project

Explanation:
This is an example of an organizational process asset. The previous project is the historical
information that the current project can use. This could also be, with a bit more information, an
example of an analogous estimate. Organizational process assets are forms, templates, and other
support pieces that the project managers can use to help manage their projects. It is usually
something that has been created before the project begins and often, but not always, comes from
historical information.
Answer option D is incorrect. This is not a valid term for this question.
Answer option B is incorrect. The lessons learned documentation is a separate document that
Gary might reference for his current project, but this is not a valid choice.
Answer option C is incorrect. While organizational process assets are inputs to this process, this

choice is not the best selection for the question.
