If you had a project with very clear requirements; familiar technologies; not super complex; reliable; a very long time schedule and where the need for schedule visibility is low - the best methodology might be Extreme programming
False
In most IT departments, the demand for IT projects is generally about the same as the department's ability to supply them.
False
PMP is People - Management - Project - the three components of successful project management.
False
Projects can be classified by: size, cost, purpose, length, programming language and hardware platform.
False
The Throwaway Prototyping methodology is good at creating release version 1.0 for users; and then the methodology shifts to system prototyping to finish the system.
False
The margin of error in cost and time estimates can be as much as 20% in the planning phase for the system proposal deliverable.
False
The project methodology that takes the longest to complete is Extreme Programming Methodology.
False
