Q2. A team member notifies the project manager after the fact that certain project deliverables have been attained without performing all the associated work packages in the WBS. What should the project manager do FIRST?

1. Immediately communicate the changes to all team members and stakeholders and have team members’ performance reviewed.
2. Review work packages and deliverables to determine impact, if any. Recommend changes to the project to the project management plan.
3. Change the project performance measurement baselines and the WBS.
4. Change the reporting process to get information sooner, then review the communications management plan to see if it is still appropriate to the needs of the project.

1. Scope objectives
2. Lessons learned from previous similar projects
3. Risk summaries
4. Cost objectives

Q4. The project is calculated to be completed four days after the desired completion date. You do not have access to additional resources. The project is low risk, the benefit cost ratio (BCR) is expected to be 1.6, and the dependencies are preferential. Under these circumstances, what would be the BEST thing to do?

1. Cut resources from an activity
2. Make more resources concurrent
3. Move resources from the preferential dependencies to the external dependencies.
4. Remove an activity from the project.

Q5. In quality terms, one of the meanings of “out of control” is:

1. Someone on the team is upset
2. A data point on a control chart falls inside the upper or lower control limit.
3. Several data points on the same side of the mean within the upper and lower control limits.
4. A data point is within 1 sigma.

Q6. The key difference between Validate Scope and Control Quality is:

1. Validate Scope is concerned with meeting the quality standards specified.
2. Validate Scope is concerned with the acceptance of deliverables.
3. Validate Scope does not apply in projects that have been cancelled.
4. Validate Scope can never be performed in parallel with Control Quality.

Q7. An issue has arisen which forces you to schedule a meeting with your stakeholders. A project team member tells you that one of your influential stakeholders may not come to the meeting because of a personal issue.

1. Accept
2. Avoid
3. Neglect
4. Mitigate

Q8. During a cost performance review with certain senior officers from the finance department, you discover there are certain inconsistencies in the way cost performance reporting is done, and you obtain data that shows these officers are deliberately misleading senior management. What should you do?

2. Bring this to the notice of senior management even though there are no formal policies in place for whistleblowers.
3. Do nothing but make sure that the data for your project is clean.
4. Do nothing. The corrupt behavior of the finance department officials has nothing to do with your project.

Q9. The Verify Scope process is different than the Perform Quality Control process in that:

1. Perform Quality Control focuses on the quality of the project, while Verify Scope focuses on customer acceptance
2. Verify Scope is performed throughout the project and Perform Quality Control is done throughout the project.
3. Perform Quality Control is considered part of Plan Quality while Verify Scope is not.
4. Scope verification is provided to the project management team while quality control is provided to the project.
