Why static methods cannot access non static variables or methods?

Answer

A static method cannot access non static variables or methods because static methods doesnt need the object to be accessed. So if a static method has non static variables or non static methods which has instantiated variables they will no be intialized since the object is not created and this could result in an error.

Q:

Decomposing tasks into smaller activities can be helpful in reducing the amount of stress associated with overwhelmingly large milestones. What is a feature of the hierarchical nature of the WBS? 

A) A WBS hierarchy prevents duplication B) A WBS cab be rolled up or collapsed to provide information at the appropriate level for a particular audience.
C) The decomposition of tasks provides a detailed planning tool D) The depth of a WBS is restricted to three levels, which avoids overplanning
 
Answer & Explanation Answer: B) A WBS cab be rolled up or collapsed to provide information at the appropriate level for a particular audience.

Explanation:

Answer A is incorrect because the WBS hierarchy does not prevent duplication by itself. Answer C is incorrect because a WBS is focused on deliverables and components or work packages and not on tasks. Answer D is incorrect because a WBS can be sized appropriately to the project size with as many levels as necessary.

Q:

Iam looking to estimate the cost on a project, but I don't want to spend a lot of time on a  detailed analysis. I really want a ballpark figure. What options do I have?

A) None - Cost estimating requires details to be accurate B) Use the cost of similar projects
C) Use a rule-of-thumb or per-square-foot estimate D) Add up the costs on the WBS
 
Answer & Explanation Answer: B) Use the cost of similar projects

Explanation:

Although it is less accurate than adding up individual costs from the WBS, it is less time consuming. The trade-off is accuracy. Answer A is incorrect because to do a more accurate cost estimate, you need to delve into details. Answer C is tempting also, and possible, except we don't really know if the project in question can use perametric modeling . Answer D is incorrect because it takes the most time, but it is most accurate.

Q:

On a systems development project, Richard needs two programmers. He knows John and Smith were able to create a program in 40 days similar to the one he wants to create on his project. He decides to use 40 days as his estimate. This is an example of what type of estimating?

A) Parametric modeling B) Analogous
C) Rule of thumb D) Fixed Rate
 
Answer & Explanation Answer: B) Analogous

Explanation:

Richard is using an estimate based on a project very similar to to his own with staff he will be using.  Answer A is incorrect because perametric modeling involves using a mathematical model to predict costs, such as dollars per line of code. Answer C is incorrect, although close; if the development project is a common item, such as putting down new flooring, a rule -of-thumb measurement can be used, although it is less accurate. Answer D is incorrect because it is not a form of estimating, but a type of pricing.

Q:

Your company has a policy of having every software project reviewed and approved by the Architecture Review Board prior to the construction  phase of a project. you are currently in the process of activity sequencing. This is a example of what?

A) Gatekeeping B) Milestone
C) New scope for the project D) Project integration
 
Answer & Explanation Answer: B) Milestone

Explanation:

The approval by the Architecture Review Board is a milestone you want to include in activity sequencing so that you can ensure the requirements for meeting the review board's approval are met.  Answer A is tempting because the question references phase-end activities; however, it is not an example of gatekeeping because the project is not being authorized to continue based only on the architecture review.Gatekeeping often involves the review of other factors as well. Answer C is incorect because the requirement of a review board approval does not afect scope. Answer D is incorrect because project integration planning involves project plan development, execution, and integrated change control, which are not related to a review board.
