Correct
Project is behind schedule but within the budget. If you look at the details, it says that the project should have been 50% completed, but it’s only 40% complete, i.e. it’s behind schedule. Also, if only 40% of the work is completed, the project should have used only $500,000*0.4= $200,000. Since the question says that only $190,000 has been spent, the project is within budget as well. This problem can be solved using the earned value technique.

Question 118 of 200
118. Question
Which of the following is the correct order of actions that you take during the closing processes?
Correct
Get formal acceptance, write lessons learned, hand over deliverable to stakeholder(s), close the contract. One important fact is that you need your team’s help when you’re writing the lessons learned. That’s why you can’t release the team until the lessons learned are documented and added to the organizational process assets. Also, the last thing you do on the project is close the contract. Remember, release the project team is no longer part of closing as per the new RDS study conducted by PMI.

Question 119 of 200
119. Question
A project manager is planning the project and he is creating a plan to describe how human resource requirements in the project would be met. He is using a bar chart tool called a resource histogram for charting this requirement. However, he notices that some of the individual bars in the resource histogram extend beyond the maximum allowed hours. What should the project manager do to correct it?
Correct
Resource Leveling. Resource leveling is required whenever individual bars in the resource histogram extend beyond the maximum allowed hours. Resource leveling can be done by either adding more resources or modifying the schedule. Option (a) Reducing scope or (b) extending working hours would be detrimental to the project’s success and is not recommended here. Option (d) schedule compression which can be done through either crashing or fast tracking wouldn’t necessarily be helpful. Since specific bars are showing an overflow, it can be best tackled using resource leveling.

120. Question
A hospital is installing a new management system to computerize the hospital functions. For this purpose, representatives from several departments are selected to create a task force assigned to implement the project. This organization structure is called?
Correct
Composite Organization. Many times even a fundamentally functional organization may create a special project team to handle a critical project. This may have many characteristics of a project team in a projectized organization. The team may include full-time staff from different functional departments, may develop its own set of operating procedures, and may operate outside the standard, formalized reporting structure.

Question 122 of 200
122. Question
If project time and cost are not as important as the number of resources used each month, which of the following is the best thing to do?
Correct
Fast tracking affects both time and cost but may not help even out resource usage. Monte Carlo analysis and analysis of life cycle costs do not directly deal with resources. Resource optimization is the only choice that will definitely affect resources.

Sorry, that was incorrect.

Question 123 of 200
123. Question
You have a project with the following activities: Activity A takes 40 hours an can start after the project starts. Activity B takes 25 hours and should happen after the project starts. Activity C must happen after activity A and takes 35 hours. Activity D must happen after activities B and C and takes 30 hours. Activity E must take place after activity C and takes 10 hours. Activity F takes place after activity E and take 22 hours. Activities F and D are the last activities of the project. Which of the following is TRUE if activity B actually takes 37 hours?
Correct
Did you notice how difficult this question was to read? Such wording is intentional, to prepare you for interpreting questions on the real exam. Looking at this situation, you see there are three paths through the network as shown in the following table. If the duration of activity B changes from 25 to 37, the activity will take 12 hours longer. As the activity is only on the third path, it will only change the duration of that path from 55 to 55 + 12, or 67 hours. Since the duration of the critical path is 107 hours, the delay with activity B will have no impact on the project timeline or the current critical path. Start, A, C, E, F, End=107, Start, A, C, D, End=105, Start, B, D, End =55

Question 124 of 200
124. Question
You provide a provide cost estimate for the project to the project sponsor. He is unhappy with the estimate, because he thinks he price should be lower. He asks you to cut 15 percent off the project estimate. What should you do?
Correct
This question is full of choices that are not correct project management actions. To answer the question, you must first realize that it is never appropriate for a project manager to just cut estimates across the board. You should have created a project estimate based on realistic work package estimates that do not include padding. Then, if costs must be decreased, you can look to cut quality, decrease risk, cut scope, or use cheaper resources (and at the same time closely monitor the impact of changes on the project schedule). One of the worst things a project manager can do is to start a project knowing that the time or cost for the project is unrealistic. Did you notice the choice of adding additional resources? Even though they have low hourly rates, that would add cost. Evaluating, looking for alternatives, and then reporting the impact of the cost cutting to the sponsor is the best action to take.

Question 125 of 200
125. Question

Question 126 of 200
126. Question
As the project manager, you are preparing your quality management plan. You are looking for a tool that can demonstrate the relationship between events and their resulting effects. You want to use this tool to depict the events that cause a negative effect on quality. Which of the following is the best choice for accomplishing you objective?
Correct
All reports and diagrams are communications tools. This question asks you to pick the most appropriate quality tool to help communications. An Ishikawa diagram, also called a cause and effect diagram, is more appropriate than a Pareto diagram since you are trying to determine the causes. Once causes are known and you have data on occurrences, the data can he displayed in a Pareto diagram.

Question 127 of 200
127. Question
During the first half of the project, five members left for other projects without being replace, two team members went to vacation without informing you, and other team members expressed uncertainty about the work they were to complete. In this situation, it is best if you create a ________ for the second half of the project.
Correct
The resource histogram shows the resources used per time period, but would provide limited benefit in this situation. The responsibility assignment matrix cross-references resources with the activities or work packages they are to accomplish, but it does not show when they will be required to do their work. The staffing management plan describes when resources will be brought onto and taken off the project, and would provide the most benefit for this project.

Question 128 of 200
128. Question
You were in the middle of a two-year project to deploy new technology to field offices across the country. A hurricane caused power outages just when the upgrade was near completion. When the power was restored, all of the project reports and historical data were lost with no way to retrieving them. What should have been done to prevent this problem?
Correct
The risk is the loss of data due to a power outage. Purchasing insurance is not related to preventing the problem. It transfers the risk. Creating a reserve fund is acceptance of the risk, and would help address the cost factors after the power failure, but would not reduce the probability or impact of it. Avoiding the hurricane by scheduling the installation at a different time reduces the power outage risk, but could have a large negative impact on the project schedule and so is not the best choice. The better choice of the options is to monitor the weather and know when to implement the contingency plan.
