Software Project Estimation Questions and Answers

Answer: B

Project management software is used across industries for project planning, resource allocation and scheduling. CRM software manages customer relationships, a word processor prepares documents and a firewall program protects a network from unauthorised access, so none of these does the planning and scheduling named in the question. Examples of such software are Microsoft Project and Primavera, which use charts and timelines to schedule tasks and resources.

Answer: C

An organic project is the type in which the application is well understood, the team is small and the team members have experience of similar projects. In the COCOMO classification, a semidetached project is of intermediate size and experience, and an embedded project is one with strict hardware and operational constraints. 'Flexible' is not one of the three COCOMO project types, so organic is the answer. The three COCOMO project classes are organic, semidetached and embedded, in increasing order of constraint and complexity.
