1. Midway through a project, the project team realizes that they underestimated the effort to deliver a part of the product. The project will therefore be delayed by two months. What should the project manager do next?
Midway through a project, the project team realized that they underestimated the effort for delivering one part of the product. As a result, the project will be delayed by two months. What should the project manager do next? A: Communicate with the project
sponsor Communicate the delay to the project sponsor and ask for approval of the new delivery date
B: Modify the stakeholder engagement plan to reflect the change and request approval of the stakeholder engagement plan to reflect the change and request stakeholder approval
C: Inform the stakeholders and manage their expectations Inform the stakeholders and manage their expectations
D: Modify the risk management plan to reflect the change and request the approval of the relevant parties Modify the risk management plan to reflect the change and request stakeholder approvalCorrect
answer: C
Analysis: PMBOK (6) P530-13.4 supervises the participation of relevant parties. Projects have been delayed and may cause dissatisfaction among stakeholders, so manage stakeholder expectations. Other options: A, it is not appropriate to communicate only with the sponsor, B is behind C, and D risk management plan is unnecessary.
2. The project manager is managing a large and complex project with multiple stakeholders. Some interested parties opposed the benefits of the project, while others were very supportive. What should the project manager use to clarify and properly manage these stakeholders?
A project manager is leading a large, complex project with several stakeholders. Some stakeholders are against the project benefits, while some are very supportive. What should the project manager use to classify and properly manage the stakeholders? A: Salience model
B
: Power/interest grid Power/interest grid
C: Impact/influence grid
D: Stakeholder cube
Correct answer: A
Analysis: PMBOK(6)P512- 13.1.2.4 Data representation. The salience model is suitable for complex large communities of interested parties. Other options: power interest grid, stakeholder cube are not as suitable as A for more complex stakeholder communities.
3. When faced with a lack of historical data, project managers make various assumptions, many of which turn out to be incorrect, raising at least one high-impact question. To avoid this problem, what should project managers use up front?
When faced with a lack of historical data a project manager makes various assumptions. A number of these assumptions prove incorrect triggering at least one high-impact issue. What should the project manager have used to avoid this? A: Explicit
knowledge
B : Enterprise environmental factors
C: Expert judgment Expert judgment
D: Organizational process assets
Correct answer: B
Analysis: PMBOK (6) P78-4.1.1.3 enterprise environmental factors. The lack of historical data is an objective factor that must be accepted. Option C: Expert judgment is a tool and technique. Option D: Organizational process assets are used for reference by the project, and the problems described in the scenario are constraints on the project.
4. You are working with the product owner to determine a feasible product iteration plan. As you discuss and prioritize various features, you're all trying to understand which features should have higher priority. What tools should project managers and product owners look up?
You are working with the product owner to determine a viable product iteration plan. As you discuss various features and prioritize them, you both are struggling with understanding what features should have a higher priority. What artifact should the project manager and product owner cons ult?
A : "The task list. The task list will help the product manager and product owner understand the elements needed to create a feature." The task list. This will help the product manager and product owner understand what it takes to create a feature. B:
Iteration plan. The iteration plan will get rid of various features that are required. The iteration plan. This will break out the various features that are desired.
C: "The release plan. The release plan will break out of the iterations of the project." The release plan. This breaks out the iterations of the project.
D: The Scrum backlog The Scrum backlog
Correct answer: C
Analysis: When the Scrum team performs iterative delivery according to the Sprint method, they pay more attention to the release rather than the project. A release is an outlook on the entire product release process, where a development team delivers a working software to people outside the team for some purpose. The iteration plan is a further plan for the release plan. It is only an outlook for an iteration, and the iteration plan is only started at the beginning of the Sprint. When project managers and product owners determine feasible product iteration plans and priorities, they need to define the product development direction first, so they should consult the release plan and choose C instead of B.
5. A team member notifies the project manager that there is a problem that could destroy the project. The project manager adds the issue to the issue log and asks the team to find a solution. What should the project manager do next?
A team member notifies the project manager of an issue that has the potential of disrupting the project. The project manager adds the issue log, and the team to find a resolution. What should the project manager do next? A: Update the risk register
Update the risk register.
B: Revise the project management plan.
C: Identify the appropriate risk response.
D: Inform the stakeholders.
Correct answer: C
Analysis: PMBOK(6)P458- 11.7.3.4 Project file update. Record information about individual project risks that arises during the risk monitoring process, which may include adding new risks, updating obsolete or existing risks, and updating risk responses, etc. The title shows that this problem has been identified and added to the problem log, so the next step is to analyze it, determine the appropriate countermeasure, and update the countermeasure to the risk register, so here is C first and then A. Other options: BD is still to come.

1. The project manager issues weekly project updates to all project related parties (including local and overseas team members) via email, and an overseas project team is worried that the goal will not be achieved due to misunderstanding of the project requirements. What should a project manager do?
The project manager issues weekly project updates via email to all project stakeholders (both local and overseas team members), and an overseas project team is concerned that it is not meeting its goals due to a misunderstanding of the project requirements. project manager do?
A: Talk to the overseas team alone to clarify the issue Independently speak with the overseas team to clarity the issue. B:
Document this in the issue log.
C: Assign another overseas team to help /Guide them Assign another overseas team to help/coach them.
D: Meet with all relevant parties to discuss the issue Meet with project stakeholders to discuss the issue.
Correct answer: B
Analysis: PMBOK (6) P387-10.2.3.3 Management Communication - Project File Update - Issue Log. Issue logs are used to record and monitor issue resolution. It can be used to facilitate communication and ensure a common understanding of issues. In the scenario, the project team members expressed "worries", so the concerns should be focused and tracked. Option AC is after option B, and option D is not appropriate to hold meetings with all relevant parties. The communication problem in the topic is mainly overseas teams, and the information transfer should be carried out according to the communication management plan.
2. During agile project deployment, the client is not satisfied with the deliverables and requests changes. What should agile project managers do next?
During an agile project deployment, the customers are dissatisfied with a deliverable and requests that changes be made. What should the agile project manager do next? A: Add
the changes to the issue log
B: During delivery Integrate implementing changes Integrate real-time changes during the next review meeting
C: Incorporate the changes during the next review meeting Incorporate the changes during the next review meeting
D: Constrain the changes as much as possible
Correct answer: A
Analysis : Agile practices. Agile is a multi-delivery, change-driven project management model, so embrace change. Therefore, add the problem to the problem log, and then determine whether to change and prioritize when making the sprint plan at the beginning of the next sprint. Other options: In the agile scenario, for the handling of changes, the correct agile practice should be to determine whether to change and prioritize when making the sprint plan at the beginning of the next sprint, rather than directly during the delivery period like option B Implement changes or change during review meetings like C, D agile embraces change, so it will not restrict changes, so it is not a correct agile practice.
3. The project manager wants to replicate good practice from a recently completed project. However, the project manager becomes responsible for managing another project before he has time to evaluate the project information for the most recently completed project. What should a project manager do?
A project manager wants to replicate good practices from a recently completed project. However, the project manager assumes another project before having time to assess the previous project's information. What should the project manager do? A: Follow the assignment and transfer to the new project Move to
the new project according to assignment.
B: Conduct a post-implementation review meeting.
C: Share the lessons learned from the previous project with the new team.
D: Request project management Ask the project management office (PMO) and the process manager to collect the lessons learn
Correct Answer: B
Analysis: PMBOK (6) 4.7 ends the project or phase of "replicating good practice", first of all, it is necessary to sum up experience and lessons, and the review meeting after the implementation of options is the post-project evaluation, that is, summing up experience and lessons. In line with the meaning of the question, other options: experience and lessons should be led by the project manager, exclude D, C and A are behind B.
4. Since the project sponsors of an organization are geographically dispersed in different places. A project management office (PMO) initiates a project to execute a customized, unified organizational process. This process includes producing the required work at the end of each milestone. The results of this project will be used as a prototype for future executions. To ensure the success of this goal, what should the project manager do?
Because an organization has project sponsors geographically dispersed, the project management office (PMO) initiates a project to implement a customized, unified organizational process. This process includes generating required artifacts at the end of each milestone before the next phase starts. The projects outcome will be used as a prototype for future implementations. What should the project manager do to ensure that this project is a success?
A: Create a detailed project management plan and share it with all stakeholders. Create a detailed project management plan to share with all stakeholders
B : Engage the stakeholders and request sign-off at the end of each stage
C: Facilitate a virtual weekly status update meeting
D: Update the project management plan on a weekly basis
Correct answer: B
Resolution: PMBOK (6) P163, 5.5 - Confirmation scope. "Ensuring the success of this goal" means that the project results are formally accepted by the relevant parties. Option A, a detailed project management plan is helpful to the success of the project, but which parties the prepared project management plan is sent to should be implemented according to the communication management plan. Option C, the sponsors of the organization are scattered in different places, and the sponsors provide funds for the project, but for daily communication, the sponsors do not participate frequently. Weekly status update meetings are more for project team members. Option D, the project management plan is updated after the change request is approved, not according to the divided time period.
5. The project manager is reviewing the status report, which shows schedule delays and cost overruns. This report must be submitted to the steering committee within two weeks. From past experience, the project manager knows which interested parties will be picky and what the project manager should do ?
A Project Manager is Reviewing A Status Report that Shights A SCHEDULE Delay and Cost OverRuns. This Report Must be presentd to the Steering Committee in Two Weeks.from P Ast Experience, The Project Manager Knows Which StakeHolders Will Be Very Diffical, what should the project manager do?
A: Meet with critical stakeholders to explain the reasons for delays and cost overruns Meet with difficult stakeholders to explain the reasons for the delays and cost overrun B: Gather additional details from the
project team to clarify the reasons for delays and cost overruns Collect additional details from the project team to clarify the reasons for the delay and cost overruns
C: Quickly identify corrective actions that can be implemented to improve the status report
D: Contact management to seek help with dealing with the difficult stakeholders Contact management to seek help with dealing with the difficult stakeholders
Correct answer: A
Analysis: PMBOK (6) P523-13.3 Management stakeholder participation. Currently "schedule delays and cost overruns", project managers "know which parties will be picky". We manage the relevant parties. Since the picky relevant parties are the most difficult to manage, we should solve them first. A is the most active and has the best effect. Other options: B does not specify who to ask for clarification, C is necessary but not relevant, D the stakeholder participation plan is formulated by the project manager, and the project manager should actively solve the problems of the stakeholder.

6. A project involving new national education standards is being implemented. During the confirmation of prepared textbooks, team members found that some books did not meet the project standards defined in advance. Which of the following should the project manager refer to to identify this problem?
A project involving new national standards for education was under way, and during confirmation of the prepared textbooks, team members found that some of the books did not conform to predefined project standards. Which of the following should the project manager refer to to identify the problem A
: Scope baseline and quality checklist Scope baseline and quality checklist
B: Progress baseline and quality checklist Schedule baseline and quality checklist
C: Project baseline and quality checklist Project baseline and quality checklist
D: Scope baseline and quality measurement indicators Scope baseline and quality metricsCorrect
answer: D
Analysis: PMBOK (6) 5.5.1 Confirm scope input & 8.3.1 Control quality input "Finding that it does not meet the pre-defined project standards" can confirm the acceptance criteria of the deliverables, which are in the scope benchmark. Whether the product meets the acceptance criteria can also be reflected in the reference of quality measurement indicators. Other options: Acceptance criteria are in the scope benchmark, first exclude BC, quality measurement indicators include not only the indicators to be measured, but also the measurement method; and the quality checklist is a list used to verify whether a series of steps required have been implemented. Therefore, overall, D is more suitable.
7. You find that according to the current sprint rhythm, a week's sprint time is no longer practical. The development team couldn't create a finished product, complete testing, and approve the product in a week. Sprint velocity was very low and stakeholders were very concerned. As a Scrum master, what should you do?
You have found that the one‐week sprint length is no longer a viable rhythm for your current sprint. The development team can't create tangible, tested, and approved the product within one week. The sprint velocity is very low, which is very Concerning to various stakeholders. As a scrum master, what should you do?
A: Increase the sprint length to two weeks. Development teams are more productive during two-week sprints. Increase the sprint length to two weeks. The capacity of a development team during a two‐week sprint will be higher.
B: Maintain the current sprint length. Shorter sprint lengths reduce the time to receive feedback from stakeholders. Keep the current sprint length. Shorter sprints decrease the amount of time between feedback received from stakeholders.
C: Change the sprint goal. Since the team can't achieve the sprint goal, the goal becomes irrelevant. Change the sprint goal. As the team can't achieve the sprint goal, it becomes irrelevant
D: Cancel the sprint and start a new one with fewer story points Cancel the sprint and start a new one with a smaller number of story points
Correct answer: C
Analysis: Agile Practice Guide P25, planning iteration-based agile. The sprint duration will not change after the start of the sprint. The story points and duration of a sprint stage are planned and cannot be adjusted at will. For the unfinished story points, the product owner can plan the schedule for the next sprint. So A and D are wrong, and B, the sprint speed is very low, which is not good for the project if we continue to maintain it.
8. One of the agile practitioners on your team has to take a sudden leave of absence. He left a lot of work to do and put pressure on the team. What would you do in this situation?
One of the agile practitioners on your team had to take an emergency unplanned leave. This caused the team pressure since he had loads of work to finish. What would you do in this situation? A: Let the team ignore the pressure and continue to do their
best Advance the project Explain to the team to work on the items without pressure and deliver what they can
B: Ask the team to plan to work overtime every day in order to complete this work Request for the team to plan to spend extra hours each day so that they finish this work
C: Ask the human resource manager to immediately supplement the manpower that can do this job Ask the resource manager to provide another resource immediately who can take up this work D: Inform the
product owner and postpone the release date Inform the product owner and move the release date
Correct answer: A
Analysis: "Agile Practice Guide", the twelve principles of the Agile Manifesto, P9. Keywords: Agility, leave, stress. Combining keywords, comparing with the concept of agile values, let the team ignore the pressure and continue to do their best to advance the project, in line with the agile values "Be good at motivating project members, giving them the environment and support they need, and believing that they can complete the task." Option A is correct. Other options: Option B, ask the team to plan overtime every day in order to get the job done. The agile method values team members' balance between work and life. It is never recommended to work overtime except for emergencies. What is needed is sustainability. "The agile process promotes sustainable development, and the responsible person, developers, and users must be able to maintain a stable continuation of its pace", so it is excluded. Option C, ask the human resources manager to immediately replenish the available manpower for this job. This option is also at odds with agile values, where teams self-organize and face and solve problems on their own. Agile teams are able to work at a consistent pace all the time in their own right. It doesn't make sense to arrange for a new person to take over for a few days, because he or she needs to be trained on the project first, so it is excluded. Option D, notify the product owner to postpone the release date. Agile teams should give priority to solving the problem and consider the solution. It cannot be concluded that the solution cannot be solved and needs to be postponed, so it is excluded.
9. For the product owner, the requirements for the new database are very vague. After a long discussion with the customer, you realize that you don't know enough about the product or the process of building it to move forward. As an agile practitioner, what should you do next?
The requirements for the new database are very vague to the product owner. After lengthy discussions with the customer, you discovered that you don't have enough knowledge about the product or the process of building the product to move forward. As an agile practitioner, what should you do next?
A: Start creating your first user stories and requirements will eventually evolve
B: "Because of the technical uncertainty in the project, start probing for reason Clear the current risk Start a spike to clarify the current risk due to the technical uncertainty within the project.
C: "Continue to refine the backlog refinement and inform senior stakeholders" Carry on with backlog refinement and inform senior stakeholders about the situation
D: "Start a sprint Zero where you complete project setup, infrastructure provisioning, setting up of project" Start a sprint Zero where you complete project setup, infrastructure provisioning, setting up of project document repository, standardizing tools, and building your team
Correct answer: B
Analysis: See Agile Practice Guide P154. Probing is a technique in which a team conducts research or prototypes an aspect of a solution to verify its feasibility during brief time intervals in a project. The question stem mentions "database requirements are vague" and "not enough understanding", indicating that there is highly uncertain work that has not been done, and it is necessary to stop the project work for a short time to find out feasible solutions and not to start sprinting rashly. Option B is correct. Other options: Option AD, you can't start sprinting rashly, so it is excluded. Option C, if the requirements are not clear, it is necessary to continue to probe and understand in detail, instead of informing senior stakeholders, so it is excluded.
10. A company's competitor has introduced a new solution to the market and the CEO of the company decides to create a program to evaluate the impact of this solution and quickly implement a similar product to retain existing customers . There is little information about a competitor's new solution, and the sponsor must address the demand as soon as it becomes available. When developing a project charter, what should the project manager suggest to the sponsor?
A Company's Competitor Launches a New Solution to Market.the Company CEOTCIDED to Create A Project to Evaluate the IMPACT of This New Slution and To Quickly I MPLEMENT A SIMILAR OFFERING TO Sponsor Must Address Requirements As So the Become Known. A
: Define a multi-phase project in the project charter to address each new requirements in separate phases Define in the project charter a multi-phase project to address each new requirements in separate phases B:
Review with key stakeholders the feasibility of using an adaptive approach in the project Sex Review with key stakeholders the feasibility of using an adaptive approach for this project.
C: Develop a project charter that only identifies, lists and prioritizes requirements, and then implements these requirements in subsequent projects Develop a project charter that only identifies, specifies, and prioritizes requirements, and then implement these in a subsequent project
D: Use small increments to improve the existing features of the current services based on identified requirements Use small increments to improve the existing features of the current services based on identified requirements Correct answer: B Resolution
:
PMBOK (6) P119, 1.2.4.1 - Project and Development Cycle. "The demand must be met as soon as possible after the information is known", so a high-level plan is first formulated based on the initial demand, and then the demand is gradually refined to the level of detail required for a specific planning cycle, so as to be able to respond to rapidly changing demands as quickly as possible corresponding. Option A, dividing a project into phases is usually done to reduce risk. Option C, the predictive life cycle, is relatively slow to respond to rapidly changing requirements. Option D, the last iteration of the incremental life cycle has complete capabilities, which is contrary to the starting point of needing to quickly launch products to retain customers.

1. After a software project charter is approved, the project manager plans to gather stakeholder, solution, and product requirements. Two key stakeholders leave the project and are replaced by individuals located in different time zones. What should a project manager do to complete the requirements traceability matrix?
After a software project charter is approved, the project manager plans to gather stakeholders , solutions and product requirements. Two key stakeholders leave the project and are replaced by people located in different time zones. te the requirements tractability matrix ?
A: Use the nominal group technique to collect multiple location inputs
B: Arrange a joint application design (JAD) workshop Facilitate a joint application design (JAD) workshop
C: Hold multiple virtual Meeting Conduct multiplhold virtual meetings
D: Perform site-sequential requirements reviews Perform site-sequential requirements reviews
Correct answer: B
Parsing: PMBOK(6)P145- 5.2.2.6 Guide. JAD is a kind of guided research meeting, and guided seminar is an important tool to solve the differences in the needs of different stakeholders. Other options: A nominal group is also a tool for collecting requirements, but cross-functional requirements B is more appropriate. CD is not a tool for collecting requirements.
2. The project manager presents the project charter to the steering committee, who is very concerned about the pre-allocated resources because the interested parties do not understand their involvement in the project. What should the project manager do up front to avoid this problem?
A Project Manager PROJECT Charter to the Steering Committee.the Steering Committee is Concernet Preassigned Resource AlLocration The St. akeholders are unaware of their partipation in the project. What should the project manager has to avoid this
? Obtained stakeholders' expectations
B: Managed stakeholder engagement Managed stakeholder engagement
C: Completed the stakeholder register
D: Defined roles and responsibilities for each stakeholder Defined roles and responsibilities for each stakeholder
Correct answer: C
Resolution: PMBOK(6)P514- 13.1.3.1 Register of interested parties. The roles of interested parties in the project, recorded in the interested party register. "Stakeholders don't understand their involvement in the project" So before this happens, the project manager should complete the stakeholder register to clarify the role of the stakeholder in the project. Other options: A. If you want to determine the role of relevant parties in the project, it is not enough to just expect, but also consider other factors such as weight; B. Managing the participation of relevant parties is something to do in the implementation stage, and it has not yet reached the implementation stage; D Responsibilities of relevant parties are incorrect.
3. During the review meeting, the developer identified a risk to product performance. What should the project manager do?
During a review meeting, a developer identifies a risk in the product's performance .What should the project manager do?
A: Use expert judgment for an independent risk assessment.
B: Assign another developer to fix the issue.
C: Initiate a change request.
D: Update Project documents Update project documents.
Correct answer: D
Resolution: PMBOK (6) P417- 11.2.3.1 Risk register. After the risk is identified, it is updated to the risk register, and the risk register will be continuously updated along with the risk management process. The project document in D refers to the other options of the risk register: first D, then A, and then BC when necessary
4. To ensure that quality standards are met, the project manager engages external resources to check the quality of the deliverables. In which cost category can the cost of such an inspection be classified?
To ensure quality standards are met, a project manager invites external resources to inspect the quality of deliverables. The cost for this inspection can be classified under what cost category? A: Prevention cost Prevention B:
Evaluation
cost Appraisal
C: External cost External
D: Failure cost Failure
Correct answer: B
Analysis: PMBOK (6) P282- 8.1.2.3 Data analysis. Inspection and testing are evaluation costs. Other options: Prevention costs are generally training, documentation process, etc. Estimated costs are generally tests, inspections, and destructive tests. Internal failure costs, rework found internally, etc. External failure costs are discovered by customers.
5. The project manager holds a team workshop to discuss the quality management plan. Three team members felt that quality assurance did not add value to the project. What should a project manager do?
The project manager holds a group seminar to discuss the quality control plan. Three team members consider that quality assurance could not add value to the project. What should the project manager do? A: Introduce these team members to the sponsor for clarification To
introduce these team members to the sponsor for clarification
B: To assess the performance of quality assurance
C: To remind these team members that quality assurance can reduce project costs D: To remind these team members that quality assurance can reduce project costs
D: To send these team members to participate in the quality control training
Correct Answer: C
Analysis: PMBOK (6) P289-8.2 Management Quality. "Team members believe that quality assurance cannot add value to the project", to correct the team members' point of view, the work of managing quality belongs to the consistency work in the quality cost framework. Therefore, quality assurance can completely reduce project costs by avoiding failure costs. This is common sense of quality, and the project manager should inform team members of such common sense of quality. Other options: A is wrong, and B has not started to do things and cannot provide performance. D team members do not agree with the concept of quality assurance, and start with the concept first, and then it is necessary to carry out targeted training.
