Question 70 of 200

A project manager is managing his second project. It started one month after the first, and both are in process. Though his first project is small, this one seems to be growing in size every day. As each day passes, the project manager is beginning to feel more and more in need of help. The project manager has recently heard that there was another project in the company last year that is similar to his second project. What should he do?
Correct
There are many things the project manager could do. Asking the other project manager for assistance is not the best choice, as the other project manager might not be an experienced mentor. His advice might not be adequate to help this project manager. Waiting to assess the impact on the project is reactive; a project manager should be proactive. Gaining agreement of all the stakeholders on the project scope is also not the best choice. It would be helpful, but does not specifically address the issue in this situation. By contacting the PMO, the project manager can access the knowledge of many project managers, historical information from many projects, and the assistance of someone whose job it is to help.

The sponsor is worried about the seller deriving extra profit on the cost plus fixed fee (CPFF) contract. Each month he requires the project manager to submit CPI calculations and an analysis of the cost to complete. The project manager explains to the sponsor t hat extra profits should not be a worry on this project because:
Correct
Cutting scope decreases profits on this type of contract, so that would not be a way for the seller to generate extra profits. CPFF contracts generally do not limit fee increases, and the fee in a CPFF contract is usually paid out on a continuous basis during the life of the project. One of the ways to change the profit in a cost plus fixed fee contract is to invoice for items not chargeable to the project. Therefore, all invoiced costs should be audited.

Question 80 of 200
80. Question
Three students from another country are working as interns on a project. The project manager has arranged for some games to play as team-building activities to help create a close-knit sense of team with the group members. At the event where the activities are taking place, the three students refuse to participate, claiming the behavior involved is unacceptable in their country and they would be very uncomfortable participating. What should the project manager do?
Correct
Insisting that the team members participate is forcing them to do something that is unacceptable in their culture. Requesting their removal from the project penalizes the team members for expressing their cultural preferences, which is not a valid reason to remove them. Excluding them from all future team building does not show respect for their culture, and would have a negative impact on the project. Excusing them from playing, and discussing alternative activities for the whole team with which they would be more comfortable is best because it demonstrates respect for cultural differences.

Bottom-up estimating is the most detailed method of performing estimations. Option A, analogous estimation and option B, expert judgment, are the techniques used when there is not enough time to do a detailed estimation. There is no such technique called numerical estimating (option D).

Question 137 of 200
137. Question
Although the stakeholders thought there was enough money in the budget, halfway through the project the cost performance index (CPI) is 0.7. To determine the root cause, several stakeholders audit the project and discover the project cost budget was estimated analogously. Although the activity estimates add up to the project estimate, the stakeholders think something was missing in how the estimates was completed. Which of the following describes what was missing?
Correct
Actual costs are used to measure CPI, and there is no reason to use SPI in this situation. Using past history is another way of saying “analogous.” The best way to estimate is bottom-up. Such estimating would have improved the overall quality of the estimate.
Incorrect
Sorry, that was incorrect.

Question 138 of 200
138. Question
A project has faced major difficulties in the quality of its deliverables. Management now states that quality is the most important project constraint. If another problem with quality were to occur, what would be the best thing for the project manager to do?
Correct
If a problem with quality were to occur again, many people would opt to fix the problem as soon as possible. It is proactive, but some other project constraint(s) must change to accommodate fixing the root cause of the problem. It may not be necessary to allow the schedule to slip, because the project manager might be able to compress the schedule in other areas. Cutting cost does not necessarily cause the schedule to slip, nor would that necessarily fix the problem at hand. Allowing risk to increase by cutting cost is not the best choice, because a quality problem is most likely to create additional cost, rather than cut cost. Allowing the cost to increase by fixing the root cause of the problem addresses both finding the cause and the probable impact of dealing with the problem.

However, when the project manager goes through the document, he realizes that the member didn’t understand what was actually said thus resulting in an inefficient use of time and effort. . Who is responsible for this loss of time and how could it have been avoided?
Correct
Project manager, since it is his responsibility to ensure his message is clear and concise and confirm that team member truly understands the message. In the communication model, it is the sender’s responsibility to make the message clear, complete, and concise so that the recipient can receive it. The sender must also confirm that the recipient truly understands the message. In this scenario, the project manager is at fault.

Question 172 of 200
172. Question
You are managing an infrastructure project which is nearing completion when a major stakeholder points out a flaw in the design which could make the entire structure weak. He suggests you construct two support pillars which would provide the necessary support. You are worried that this change could impact the schedule and cost of the project significantly. What is your BEST response to the stakeholder?
Correct
Use a schedule compression technique as part of integrated change control to investigate and minimize adverse impact of the change. Schedule compression technique is useful not only during project planning to see if the desired completion date can be met but also during integrated change control to look at the schedule impacts of changes to time ,cost ,scope, or risk . Option (b) though seems to be in good faith, but doesn’t address the immediate problem. Option(c) should be done once all the alternatives are explored to minimize the adverse effect of the change on the project schedule and other constraints.

Question 176 of 200
176. Question
The project sponsor has just signed the project charter. What is the next thing to do?
Correct
To answer this type of question, look for the choice that occurs closest to the process group you are in. The project charter is created during project initiating. Completing work packages is done during project executing. Validating scope and performing integrated change control are done during project monitoring and controlling. Starting to create management plans is the best choice, as it is part of project planning.

Question 179 of 200
179. Question
A project manager is in the middle of executing a very large construction project. When he discovers the time needed to complete the project is longer than the time available. What is the best thing to do?
Correct
This question again tests whether you know how to solve problems. Cutting product scope negatively affects the customer, and is therefore not best. A project manager’s job is to determine options for meeting any end date; therefore, simply telling management the required date cannot be met is not correct. Working overtime is expensive and unnecessary when there are many other choices that could be selected first. Determining options for schedule compression would have the least negative effect on the project.
