You are the project manager of the NHL Project for your organization. You are working with your project team to create the schedule baseline for this…

The schedule baseline is a specific version of the project schedule developed from the

schedule network analysis. It is built by networking

individual work elements and verifying the path or paths with the longest total duration. That path is

then compared against the project due

date, or it may serve as the determinant of the project end date.

Schedule baseline is a project schedule used in measuring project progress. It helps provide a

comparison with the actual progress of work

against the schedule and to determine if performance to date is within acceptable parameters. Any

change caused by change in scope of the

project invalidates the original schedule and requires a new baseline schedule.

Answer option A is incorrect. Management may impose constraints on the project, but according to

the PMI, the baseline is developed from

schedule network analysis.

Answer option B is incorrect. Constraints on the project typically include time, cost, and scope

(among others), but the schedule baseline is

only concerned with the time limits of the project.

Answer option C is incorrect. Project stakeholders are those entities within or without an

organization, which:

Sponsor a project or,

Have an interest or a gain upon a successful completion of a project.

Examples of project stakeholders include the customer, the user group, the project manager, the

development team, the testers, etc.

Stakeholders are anyone who has an interest in the project. Project stakeholders are individuals and

organizations that are actively involved

in the project, or whose interests may be affected as a result of project execution or project

completion. They may also exert influence over

the project's objectives and outcomes. The project management team must identify the

stakeholders, determine their requirements and

expectations, and, to the extent possible, manage their influence in relation to the requirements to

ensure a successful project.
