What Approved 1Z0-567 Test Is

NEW QUESTION 1
You are an implementation consultant working at a company where project schedules have been managed primarily with Microsoft Project, on individual desktops. The "projects" theoretically have been multiple-year projects. Your scope of work includes migrating project data from legacy project plans and setting up project planning standards. As you look into the current Microsoft Project plans, it becomes clear that the projects are not really multi-year projects. The plans have been managed by creating "new" projects within the old projects by skipping a few lines in what has become more of a program history.
What approach would you recommend to retain the legacy data (which is a mandated requirement in the new Primavera system), while moving forward with a "one project, one plan" process?

• A. Import all MS Project plans directly into the P6 production database "as is."
• B. Import MS Project plans but break out current in-flight work into separate projects.
• C. Create new projects only for in flight work identified in MS Project plans.
• D. Retire legacy project plans and start with new project planning standards.

Answer: B

NEW QUESTION 3
You are a project manager addressing risk responses in your Risk Register. As you created your Risk Register, you also created multiple mitigating/response plans for each risk. Identify the functionality that will indicate which response plan is primary.

• A. Response plan marked Active
• B. Response plan with the closest start date
• C. Response plan with lowest cost
• D. Response plan marked highest priority

Answer: A

Explanation:
Response Plan row: Create one or more response plans while you are in the planning phase and indicate the response type. When you have analyzed your response options, choose one response plan by selecting the Active option next to the appropriate response plan.
In the example below, two response plans have been created for the Concrete supply constrained risk. The first plan is to accept the risk and take no action; the second plan is to reduce the impact of the risk by contracting with alternative suppliers. You can see this second plan was selected as the plan of choice.

Note:
* A risk register and risk scoring matrix provide a system for monitoring and tracking risks.
* Rather than having a single response, you can create multiple responses to a risk.
* Once you have established your risks, you can view the Probability and Impact Diagram, which shows how the risks are coded. Several pre-defined PID matrices have been provided from which we can choose.

NEW QUESTION 22
When is "Store Period Performance" usually performed?

• A. After each pay period
• B. After the schedule is updated
• C. After Job Services validation
• D. After working hours to enhance performance

Answer: A

Explanation:
Storing of Period Performance
When billing in Excel (AIA form) or in the P6 schedule the current billing period amounts must be “rolled” or moved to the Previously Billed or Actual Cost categories before starting a new billing period.
When the billing has been approved and finalized in the AIA form it can be copied to a new file for use in the next billing period. To “roll” or clear out the This Period amounts in Excel, the current period amounts will have to be added into the Previous Application column cells. This creates a starting point for the new billing period.
Note:
In P6, by default, actuals will be distributed evenly across time periods. For example, we set up an activity to start the first day of May, and we have actuals for the month of May of 15 hours. We have actuals for the month of June of 25 hours. P6 will display this as 20 hours for May and 20 hours for June. To get the exact amount of hours for each month, you have to store period performance. To do this, take the following steps:
1.) Set up your financial periods:
Select Admin, Financial Periods from the Menu Bar
You can either add your financial periods manually, or set up a batch run by entering the start date and end date and how often the period should be created.
2.) Enter your actuals for the resource into the column, Actuals This Period. It will also put the same amount in the Actual Units Column; at the end of May, Actuals This Period would have 15 hours, as would Actual Units.
3.) When you are done with the update, do Tools, Store Period Performance. This will move the Actuals this Period to the appropriate financial period and zero out the Actuals This Period column. At the end of June, enter 25 hours in Actual This Period. Actuals This
Period will have 25 hours and Actual Units will have 40 hours. 4.) To view the financial periods, do the following:
Click Edit, User Preferences Click on the Application Tab
Enter the Financial Periods that you would like to view.
In the Activity Window, add the financial period columns (they will start with the financial period).
