Note: These Q are used to test the over all understanding of the project management. Thus, there are variations in the Q’s asked. Also, the case study asked, needs to be analyzed to understand the exact project. The answer needs to be # According to your personal understanding of the project with you being in the project management’s shoes & # According to the syllabus (Notes which u all refer). Also, there is no need at all to keep on writing history about the project / case study asked. The examiner checking the paper expects the student to write less (Not less enough to get fewer marks) but precisely to the point. “A simple definition & relate it with the current project” is enough. I guess, that’s all u need to know abt these type of Q’s. Still, any further queries, mail me. (My contact details in the end of this doc.)
