in [Project]

From: ks2008 on 28 Apr 2010 23:32 Hi Please review the question. This is from MCTS Self-Paced Training Kit: Managing Projects with Microsoft Office Project 2007 (Exam 70-632)" Chapter 2, Lesson 4. My Question is, why Answer B is not correct. I could able to replace the assigned resource using Task Information dialog box's Resources tab. Question ========= Due to an unexpected change in scope by your stakeholders, you need to change the resources applied to the task of finishing the interior of a new conference room. The two resources currently applied to this task are Wallpaper Hanger and Carpet Contractor. Your stakeholders have decided that although they still want to finish the conference room, they want to lay tile and paint the walls instead. The cost for laying tile is about the same as laying carpet; the cost for painting the walls is about the same as hanging wallpaper. You have created two new resources: Tile Contractor and Painter. What do you do now? A)In the Assign Resources dialog box for the task of finishing the interior of the conference room, select the two existing resources (Wallpaper Hanger and Carpet Contractor) and replace them with the new resources (Tile Contractor and Painter). B)In the Task Information dialog box's Resources tab for the task of finishing the interior of the conference room, select the two existing resources (Wallpaper Hanger and Carpet Contractor) and replace them with the new resources (Tile Contractor and Painter). C)In the Resource Information dialog box's General tab for the two existing resources (Wallpaper Hanger and Carpet Contractor), click Replace to replace the old resources with the new resources (Tile Contractor and Painter). D)From the View Bar, select Assign Resources. In the Assign Resources dialog box for the task of finishing the interior of the conference room, select the two existing resources (Wallpaper Hanger and Carpet Contractor) and replace them with the new resources (Tile Contractor and Painter). Correct Answer: A A)Correct: To replace one resource with another, select the task and open the Assign Resources dialog box. B)Incorrect: The only place where you can replace one resource with another is the Assign Resources dialog box. It is not an option in the Task Information dialog box. C)Incorrect: The only place where you can replace one resource with another is the Assign Resources dialog box. It is not an option in the Resource Information dialog box. D)Incorrect: Although you do make this change in the Assign Resources dialog box, there is no option to access it from the View Bar.
From: Trevor Rabey on 29 Apr 2010 02:28 The reason that B is not correct is because there is no such "Replace" button in the Task Information, Resources dialog box. However, you can still do it there if you delete the existing resources and assign the new ones. So what does it matter how it is achieved, because there are various ways, as long as it is achieved? C is incorrect for the same reason, no such button. D is incorrect because there is no such thing as the "View Bar". The Assign Resources dialog box is accessed via an icon on the Standard Toolbar. This question is just a test for how well you have memorised where the buttons are, and will teach you nothing about project planning. -- Trevor Rabey 0407213955 61 8 92727485 PERFECT PROJECT PLANNING www.perfectproject.com.au "ks2008" <ks2008(a)discussions.microsoft.com> wrote in message news:AAB10AEE-B21E-45C2-A668-977B2899A1D8(a)microsoft.com... > > > Hi > > Please review the question.

From: Dale Howard [MVP] on 29 Apr 2010 12:44 Trevor -- The View bar is the colored bar running along the left side of any view you apply. The View bar displays the current view. If you right-click on the View bar, you can select other views as well. Not to be too nit picking with you, but there really is such a thing as a View bar. :) Hope this helps. -- Dale A.

From: Dale Howard [MVP] on 29 Apr 2010 12:51 ks2008 -- I cannot imagine a more poorly-written practice exam question. Melanie and Trevor have correctly told you why A is the correct answer and why B is not the correct answer. But in my humble opinion, the content of this question borders on trivia, and makes it a trick question at best. If you are preparing for the 70-632 exam, please know in advance that all of the questions in the real exam are very well written and will genuinely test your knowledge of how to use Microsoft Project 2007 properly. The questions do not rely on your knowledge of trivia, and none of the question are even close to being trick questions. I took this exam several years ago and attained a perfect score of 1,000 on the exam. Of course, it does help that I write books on this subject and I teach Microsoft Project 2007 and Project Server 2007 classes regularly! :) Hope this helps. -- Dale A.
