, A project involves uncertainty. Every project is unique and thus it is sometimes difficult to define its
L L L L L L L L L L L L L L L L L



objectives clearly, estimate how long it will take to complete, or determine how much it will cost. This
L L L L L L L L L L L L L L L L L L



uncertainty is one of the main reasons project management is so challenging.

9. In order to be realistic, a project manager should always set discrete goals instead of a range of

objectives.

CORRECT ANSWER: F L L




Projects involve uncertainty and limited resources. Thus they rarely finish according to their original
L L L L L L L L L L L L L L



scope, time, and cost goals. Instead of discrete target goals, it is often more realistic to set a range of
L L L L L L L L L L L L L L L L L L L L



goals.
