Question 23 of 200
23. Question
A project manager is facing many serious issues in his project to create an application for a hospital management system. The project’s final deliverable is scheduled for two weeks from now. It needs to fulfill compliance to mandatory government health standards. In addition to that there are some changes required to improve performance which the project manager feels will make the customer happy. Amidst all of this, a senior test engineer asks the project manager for a long leave. Which is the most critical issue the project manager needs to address FIRST?
Correct
Ensure product is compliant to government health standards. This question exemplifies a typical scenario when a project manager needs to integrate information and prioritize the most critical issue. In this scenario, option (c) is part of gold plating and is not actually required in the project. Option (b) can pose some trouble to the project manager. The question doesn’t clearly establish whether the resource is leaving before or after the final delivery. There is no indication that his absence would adversely affect the project delivery. In this situation, the most important thing to focus on should be the compliance testing because it is a mandatory requirement on the project.

Question 25 of 200
25. Question
You are a project manager evaluating a decision whether to buy insurance for a temporary manufacturing facility. The likelihood of a mishap is assessed at 10% and the likely impact is evaluated at $500,000. The cost of insuring is $20,000 and has a $10,000 deductible. Would you advice buying insurance?
Correct
EMV when there is no insurance is -500,000 * 0.1 = $50,000. EMV when there is insurance is -(20,000+ 0.1*10,000) = -21,000. Therefore it makes sense to buy insurance

Question 33 of 200
33. Question
The installation project has a CPI of 1.03 and SPI of 1.0. There are 14 team members, and each team member had input into the final project management plan. The customer has accepted the three deliverables completed so far without complaint, and the responsibility assignment matrix has not changed since the project began. The project is being completed in a matrix environment and there are no contracts needed for the project. Although the sponsor is happy with the status of the project, one of the team members is always complaining about how much time his project work is taking. Which of the following would be the best thing for the project manager to do?
Correct
Improving schedule performance relates to getting the project completed sooner. Although it would seem to be a good idea to improve schedule performance, this project’s performance is fine. The schedule has been approved as it is. It would be better for the project manager to spend more time controlling the project to make sure it finishes according to plan than to improve schedule performance. If you chose attempting to extend the schedule, look at the SPI. There is nothing wrong with the schedule performance of the project that would require an extension. Gaining formal acceptance from the customer will need to be done, as it provides an opportunity for the team to check if everything is going well. This action will not affect the team member’s dissatisfaction, however. The only real problem presented in this situation is that the team member is complaining. If you read the situation completely, you will notice that the team member was involved and approved the project management plan, including his own involvement in the project. Since the responsibility assignment matrix has not changed, the team member has not even been assigned different duties since the project began. There must be something else causing the team member to complain. The project manager should investigate and find out if the reward system is ineffective.
Incorrect
Sorry, that was incorrect.

Incorrect
Sorry, that was incorrect.
-
Question 36 of 200
36. Question
Stakeholders can be identified in which project management process group?
Correct
Stakeholders can be identified throughout the project. However, the earlier stakeholders are identified, the better for the project. If all of the stakeholders’ needs and requirements are taken into account before plans are finalized and project work is begun, fewer changes will be needed later in the project, when they will be more costly.
Incorrect
Sorry, that was incorrect.

Question 37 of 200
37. Question
A project manager is working with a vendor on a project when she learns one of the sellers has bribed a subcontractor to work on this project instead of fulfilling previous commitments to other projects. What should she do?

Cost plus percentage of cost. Please refer to their definitions to understand what each of them mean. Cost plus fixed fee contracts pay a pre-determined fee that was agreed upon at the time of contract formation. In a cost-plus-incentive fee contract, a larger fee is awarded for contracts which meet or exceed performance targets including cost savings. Cost plus award fee contracts pay a fee based upon the contractor’s work performance. In some contracts, the fee is determined subjectively by an awards fee board whereas in others the fee is based upon objective performance metrics. Cost plus percentage of cost contracts pay a fee that rises as the contractors costs rise. Since this contract type provides no incentive for the contractor to control costs it is rarely utilized and is most risky for the buyer.)L2) Cost plus percentage of cost.

The benefit of an analogous project estimate is that it is management’s expectations of how long the project will take. Any differences between the analogous estimate and the detailed bottom-up estimate can be reconciled in the planning processes.
