Certified Associate in Project Management (CAPM) — Question 409

Which of these is true of project integration management?

Answer options

• A. Project Integration Management is mandatory and more effective in larger projects
• B. Project Integration Management and expert judgment are mutually exclusive
• C. Project Integration Management is the responsibility of the project manager
• D. Project Integration Management excludes the triple constraints if cost performance index (CPI) equals zero

Correct answer: C

Explanation

The correct answer is C because project integration management is fundamentally the project manager's role, ensuring all aspects of the project are coordinated. Option A is misleading since integration management is crucial for all project sizes. Option B is incorrect because expert judgment can complement project integration management. Option D is also wrong as project integration management always considers the triple constraints regardless of the CPI value.
