Missed Quiz Questions Flashcards
Weather issues threaten the project objectives of building a construction project. In order to determine if it is necessary to request a change in the project objectives, the project manager needs to perform an earned value analysis. With the actual schedule and cost performance data and hand, what should the project manager do?
Compare the actual results to the performance measurement baseline. (PMB)
What is the performance measurement baseline (PMB)?
The PMB is the integrated scope, schedule, and cost baselines used for comparison to manage, measure, and control project execution.
While the first phase of a construction project was a success, one of the two lead architects suddenly had to resign from her position due to a conflict of interest within the company. What should the PM do immediately to manage the team composition?
Review the change management plant and submit a change request.
As the project manager acquires the aluminum for a project to construct a new airliner, a tariff is enacted which raises the cost by 30%. Although the overall project budget will not be affected, the existing contingency reserves are inadequate to cover the increased cost, and the pm need to access the management reserves. What should the PM do next?
Submit a change request to transfer the management reserved into the cost baseline. Management reserves are not included in the cost baseline, like contingency reserves are.
Management reserves- Unknown - unknowns
Information Radiators
used by agile teams to ‘radiate’ the status of their progress to the project stakeholders. A review of the information form radiators would typically be sufficient for the stakeholder to understand the status of work being performed on a project. (kanbans, burndown charts)
Inputs into the Define Scope Process?
Project charter, PM plan, EEF’s, OPA’s, Project docs.
The quality management has been perfect for the project up into this point. Suddenly, the quality assurance lead who developed and performed most of the quality activities with project has been temporarily reassigned to help another project. Which of the project manager do you?
A- submit a change request to adjust the cost baseline and the schedule baseline
B- request a team to develop replacement quality activities
C-Sign another team member to carry out the originally planned quality
D- pause quality activities until the QA lead returns to the project.
C-sign another team member to carry out the originally planned quality activities
The quality activities are working and should continue. Since a question does not indicate that QA lead possesses you need knowledge, another project team member can take over conducting these activities; or if one on the team doesn’t is not available or does not possess even basic quality assurance skills, the project manager may need to acquire an outside resource for this activity.
Sensitivity analysis
An analysis technique to determine which individual project risks have the most potential impact on project outcomes.
A project manager is taken over project that has been an execution for a few months. He ran into problems right away. He has had difficult to getting sign off on a decisions; he doesn’t have the authority to acquire the equipment to say for the projects; the stakeholders and the project team have different opinions about the objectives and outcome of the project. What is the most likely source of these problems?
A. Week leadership skills
B. Lack of a project charter
C. Lack of a project management plan
D. Lack of a procurement management plan
B. Lack of a project charter
The project charter formally authorizes the existence of a project with would have provided the project manager with the authority to apply organizational resources to project activities. A project sponsor approves and signs off on the charter NS project champion his sports project, the project manager, and is concerned with the project success. Therefore, the difficulty the project manager is encountering with decision making and aquarium computer hardware. It may have been eliminated if there had been a charter. The project charter also states purpose, primary objectives, and vision for the project and would have provided the team, as well as stakeholders, with the same understanding of such. And a. Product charter could have prevented issues mentioned in the scenario of happening. Therefore, I like a project charter is most likely source of problems
A new program from five projects, each performed by a scrum team. Throughout the program. Life cycle, various deliverables from each of the scrum teams will serve as inputs to other teams. What is the best strategy for each of the scrum Masters to navigate this complexity?
A. Seek the program manager’s approval of the deliverables before they move from one team to another
B. Apply system sinking throughout the project’s life cycle
See. Request the product on our prioritizes the least complexities are stories and the program backlog
D. Enhance simplicity by minimizing the amount of work not done
B. Apply systems thinking throughout the project life cycle. System thinking entails taking a holistic view of how project/ program elements interact with each other. In this case, each project is interconnected with the other projects within the program. The scrum Masters will need to apply system sinking to understand how their project and it’s liberals impact the other projects in the program.
You are new to the organization and been given a few weeks to get yourself settled before starting your project in a roll of a project manager. During this period, you realize you have no authority of a resources, the staff members are grouped by specialty, the budget is under the full control of the group’s managers, and you as a project manager are only required to dedicate part of your time to perform the work. What type of organization are you working in?
A. Week matrix
B. Functional
See. Balanced matrix
D. Projectized
Be functional
Organizational structure can affect the availability of resources and influence how projects are conducted. And I functional organization, the project managers authority of the resources is little to none, the project budget is managed by the functional managers, and the project manager works on the project tasks, part-time. Other project characteristics and a functional organization include little to no resource availability and part-time project management administrative staff.
The project manager is analyzing the communication needs to stakeholders in order to develop the communications management plan for a project that will use a hybrid project management framework. The project manager understands of the plan should accommodate the needs of both predictive and agile aspects of the project. How should the plan accommodate the agile aspects of this project?
Hey. Account for an increased exchange of document
B. Specify the exact number of communication channels
See. Secure facilities to support face-to-face interactions
D. Deploy the management project management information systems PMIS
See secure facilities to support face-to-face interaction
Well, agile methodologies, for mole documentation of a communication plan is typically not required because much of the communication is inherent in the agile ceremonies. Since a hybrid approach is being employed in the scenario, a communications management plan will likely be needed, but agile aspects of the project will require little formal document planning. However, one consideration which needs to be accounted for is the increase number of face to face interactions that typically result from agile practices. For example, the project manager may need to ensure facilities are available for a war room, video conferencing, the common part of the caves and commons, meeting rooms, etc. Agile principles favor face to face communication as the most efficient and effective method of conveying information. Therefore, of the available choices, securing facilities to support face-to-face interactions is the best answer to the question asked.
An organization has established a controlling project management office( pmo ). The first task of the PMO is to update the guidelines for a project compliance in the organization. Which of the following could the PMO enforce? (Choose three)
Hey, use of a particular project management methodologies
Be adoption of specific templates, forms, and tools
See. Adherence to local health regulations
The conformance to governance frameworks
E. Assignments of project managers by the PMO
F. Release of management reserves
A, b and d
There are several types of PMOs in an organization, with varying degrees of influence: supportive, controlling, and directive. A controlling PMO provides support, but also requires compliance. Compliance may involve the dash adoption of project management frameworks or methodologies. The use specific templates, forms and tools; and conformance to governance frameworks. However, neither a controlling PMO nor any other type of PMO for that matter enforces local health regulations. A controlling PMO does not decide on the use of management reserves either. It is the directive, not controlling PMO, that assigns project managers and takes control of projects by directly managing them.
Controlling PMO, directive PMO, general PMO types
Shu-Ha-Ri model
As project execution begins, the project manager requires project team, based on project needs, the size of the team will use scrum to develop the product of the project. After conducting an assessment of the project team scrum skill set, the project manager realizes that according to the shoehari model, the team is at the shoot level. Which of the project manager recommended to the team?
A request project termination
Be modify the scrum to fit the project needs
See develop new agile method
D. Closely follow scrum ceremonies.
Describes the progression of skills acquisition by an individual or group. The shoe level indicates in this case that the project team lacks proficiency with the scrum framework and they should follow the rules set forth and scrub. Once the project team has required sufficient expertise with scrum framework, they can progress beyond the shoe level and begin to customize the approach to better suit the needs of the project and project team. Therefore, the available choices the best approach for the project manager false ceremonies as possible
