It should be able to seat four passengers including a driver and comply with Euro 4 emission norms. This information should be captured in which of the following documents?
Correct
Product Scope . If you got confused with project scope, remember that the above statements describe the features, functions, and requirements which are part of defining product scope. To differentiate project scope from product scope read through the definition of each. Product scope: the features and functions that characterize a product, service, or result. Project scope: the work that needs to be accomplished to deliver a product, service, or result with the specified features and functions. The product scope describes the thing or service that will exist as a result of your project. The project scope, on the other hand, describes all of the work to create the product scope. It includes all of the work, and only the required work, to complete the project deliverable. Note: completion of project scope is measured against the project management plan , project scope statement and its associated Work Breakdown Structure (WBS ) , WBS dictionary, and scope baseline. Completion of product scope is measured against product features or requirements.

Question 14 of 200
14. Question
Your firm awarded a cost reimbursable contract to a pharmaceutical company for some research related activity. Over time, a large number of changes have taken place on the project and it is difficult to keep track of the status of these change requests. What is the BEST alternative for a project manager in this case?
Correct
Terminate the existing contract and negotiate a new one with the seller. There are strong reasons for the project manager to terminate the existing contract and re-negotiate the terms and conditions. As the earlier contract was cost reimbursable, the project manager had limited information on the contract scope of work. It may not be true now since some work has been done and project manager would be in a better position to negotiate. Also since there are too many change requests with no clarity on how many of them would be approved, it is difficult for project manager to continue work. The best option for project manager in this case is option (a).
Incorrect
Sorry, that was incorrect.

Question 15 of 200
15. Question
A project manager and his team have finished creating the Work Breakdown Structure (WBS) and Work Breakdown Structure dictionary. Afterwards, he prepares a detailed and itemized documentation of all of the schedule activities that are part of the project. What should he do NEXT ?

Create Network Diagram for the project. The project manager has created a WBS, a WBS dictionary, and an activity list in the planning stage. The next step would be to create a network diagram for the project. Quality standards and metrics can be identified once project schedule and budget are determined. Option (c) is done as part of project initiation and is completed much earlier. Option (d) is done in the executing stage of the project

Question 21 of 200
21. Question
The engineering department has uncovered a problem with the cost accounting system and has asked the systems department to analyze what is wrong and fix the problem. You are a project manager working with cost accounting programs on another project. Management has issued a change request to the change control board to add the new work to your project.Your existing project has a cost performance index(CPI) of 1.2 and a schedule performance index (SPI) of 1.3, so you have some room to add work without delaying your existing project or going over budget. However, you cannot see how the new work fits within the project charter for your existing project. After some analysis, you determine that the new work and existing work do not overlap and can be done concurrently. They also require different skill sets. Which of the following is the best thing to do?
Correct
How long did it take you to read this question? Expect long-winded questions on the exam. Take another look at the choices before you continue reading. Did you notice that each of the choices occurs during a different part of the project management process? This question is essentially asking if the new work should be added to the existing project. There may be many business reasons to try to do this, but from a project management perspective, major additions to the project are generally discouraged. In this case, the new work is a self-contained unit of work, has no overlap with the existing work, does not fit within the project charter, and needs a different skill set. Therefore, it is best to make it a new project. The first step to answering this question is to realize that the work should be a separate project. The second step is to look at the choices and see which relates to initiating a new project. Reestimating the project sounds like the best choice only if you did not realize that the new work should be a separate project. Validating scope is done during project monitoring and controlling, and does not relate to the decision of whether to add work to the project. Identifying scope changes also implies that the new work has been accepted as an addition to the existing project. Developing a project charter is among the first steps of initiating a new project, and the best choice in this situation.

Question 22 of 200
22. Question
A new project manager is being mentored by a more experienced PMP certified project manager. The new project manager is having difficulty finding enough time to manage the project because the project scope is being progressively elaborated. The PMP-certified project manager advises that the basic tools for project management, such as work breakdown structure, can be used during project executing to assist the project manager. For which of the following can a work breakdown structure be used?
Correct
A WBS does not show dates or responsibility assignments. The business need is described in the project charter. In this situation, the project scope is being fine-tuned. It would save the project manager time in effectively managing progressive elaboration if the WBS was used as a communications tool. Using the WBS helps ensure everyone (including the customer) understands the scope of the work.

Sorry, that was incorrect.

Question 23 of 200
23. Question
Which of the following is correct?
Correct
This question tests your knowledge about a number of topics. There can often be more than one critical path, but you might adjust the plan in order to decrease risk and have only one critical path. The network diagram may or may not change when the end date changes, depending on the amount of schedule reserve and the reason for the change to the schedule. You can have negative float if you are behind schedule. The critical path helps prove how long the project will take. This is the only correct statement of the choices given.
Incorrect
Sorry, that was incorrect.

Question 24 of 200
24. Question
Project performance appraisals are different from team performance assessments in that project performance appraisals focus on:
Correct
Questions like this can drive people crazy on the exam because it is easy to get confused. The best thing to do is to look at the two terms used here (project performance appraisals and team performance assessments) and review in your mind what each means BEFORE looking at the choices. Team performance assessments evaluate the project team’s effectiveness as a whole. Project performance appraisals deal with how each team member is performing on the project.

Question 27 of 200
27. Question
During project executing a major problem occurs that was not included in the risk register. What should you do FIRST?
Correct
Following the right process is part of professional and social responsibility. Because an unidentified problem or risk occurred, it is important to reevaluate the Identify Risks process as well as to look for unexpected effects of the problem. However, they are not your first choices. You might need to inform management, but this is reactive, not proactive, and not the first thing you should do. Since this is a problem that has occurred, rather than a problem that has just been identified, the first thing you must do is address the risk by creating a workaround.

Sorry, that was incorrect.

Your first action would be to find out whether working with family members is a common practice in that country, as there is nothing inherently illegal in this activity. Then, you would review qualifications. You may find it is not necessary to ask the project leader to provide additional names, or to consider using a different project leader.

A project manager has just taken over the project from another project manager during project executing. The previous manager created a project budget, determined communications requirements, and went on to complete work packages. What should the new project manager do next?
Correct
Completion of work packages is done after project planning. Since the previous project manager did not finish planning, continuing to execute the project management plan should not be next. Identify Risks sounds like a good choice; however, identifying quality standards occurs before the Identify Risks process. You may have misread the question and assumed communication planning was complete as well, but notice it only says that communication requirements have been determined. Communications planning still needs to be completed as well. Identify quality standards is the best answer, as planning must be completed on the project.

Question 124 of 200
124. Question
Which of the following is CORRECT in regard to the control scope process?
Correct
Though it is correct that effective scope definition can lead to a more complete project scope statement, this cannot be the answer, because it does not deal with control. Scope planning occurs before the Control Scope process, not after it. Controlling the schedule is not the best way to control scope, so that is not the best answer. The control processes do not act in isolation. A change to one will most likely affect the others. Therefore the need to integrate the Control Scope process with other control processes is the best answer.

Question 174 of 200
174. Question
A manufacturing project has a schedule performance index (SPI) of 0.89 and a cost performance index (CPI) of 0.91. Generally, what is the best explanation for why this occurred?
Correct
To answer this question, you must look for a choice that would take longer and cost more. Notice one of the choices says scope was changed, but it was not necessarily added to. If the change was to reduce the scope, it might also have reduced cost. Though it would take time to handle the issue of the need to find a new supplier, the impacted activity might not be on the critical path and thus might not affect time. Purchasing additional equipment definitely adds cost, but not necessarily time. A critical path activity taking longer and requiring more labor hours to complete would negatively affect both time and cost.
