Question

Except in extreme cases, the evaluation of success or failure is ________ because time and cost to complete the project are _________. select one:
a. subjective; estimates
b. done by the project manager; fixed
c. objective; inflexible
d. done by the project team; set by them

Answer 1

Except in extreme cases, the evaluation of success or failure is subjective because time and cost to complete the project are estimates.

Things can go "wrong" or "right" in someones mind even if the overall project is going smoothly. Since project completion times are typically estimates, success is going to be subjective. In designing a new product, until that project launches and is deemed a success or failure, it's hard to classify it.
