PMP Question of the Day...

Today's question comes from the Planning Process Group. This involves a formula you need to remember when you take your PMP Certification Exam.

Marvin is managing a new project involving a software development product. On an average day, his coding staff can write 500 lines of code in 6 hours. On hectic days with a lot of interruptions and team meetings, they require 8 hours to write the same amount of code. On a good day, with no distractions, their performance results in 500 lines of code in 4 hours. Using the Beta Distribution method of three-point estimating, what estimate can Marvin use to enter his activity estimates going forward?

A. 7
B. 6
C. 5
D. 8

Please leave a comment with your answer and we'll see how many know the formula.

Discount on our NEW PMP PROGRAM

We couldn't think of a better approach to kick off the new quizzes, tests, and exams included in our COMPLETE PMP CERTIFICATION PROGRAM than to reduce the price. And that's exactly what we've done. From now until December 31, 2013, our program is discounted from our regular $199 to a year-end bargain basement price of only $49. You still get 12 months of unlimited access to everything on a 24/7 basis.

In return for such a great deal, we're hoping you can help us work out the glitches, if there are any. The project of revising our entire Question Library was a massive one. We hope it's perfect, and we also hope you'll send us a comment if you encounter a typo. If you already have your PMP Certification, feel free to pass our information along to an associate.

If you're not familiar with our program, our PUSHPIN website has all the details. Check it out HERE. Send us a comment while you're there, and we'll send you a new .pdf of the PMBOK® Guide - Fifth Edition. For FREE!
