Receive project approval b. Identify Project Manager c. Develop preliminary project statement d. Develop project charter e. Develop project management plan Which of the following is true about change requests that result in corrective or preventive actions? They result in changes to scope b. They result in changes to the project plan c. They significantly increase risk d. They do not usually affect project baselines The project management plan is complete and is ready to be baselined.
However, a key stakeholder just discovered a critical omission and requests an adjustment to the PM plan. What should you do next as the project manager? Implement a formal CR b. Make the adjustment c. Subject: Project Management Processes 7. Answer D Explanation: 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. The high-level project schedule constraints have just been determined. What project management process group are you in? Executing D. Monitoring and controlling Subject: Project Management Processes 8. The project team has begun working on identifying risks.
The sponsor contacts the project manager, requesting that the responsibility assignment matrix be issued. There is little risk expected for the project, and the project manager has managed many projects similar to this one.
Understand the experience of the sponsor on similar projects. Create an activity list. Complete risk management and issue the responsibility assignment matrix.
Subject: Project Management Processes 9. Answer B Explanation: Look at the order of planning the project that the team has chosen. Although understanding the experience of the sponsor might sound like a good idea, the sponsor is a stakeholder and understanding the stakeholders is part of stakeholder analysis. That should have occurred before the creation of a WBS. Completing risk management and issuing the responsibility assignment matrix cannot be best, as that work does not come next in the process.
Other work must be done before risk management can effectively be completed. A project manager does not have much time to spend on planning before the mandatory start date arrives.
He therefore Wants to move through planning as effectively as possible. What advice would you offer? Make sure you have a signed project charter and then start the WBS. Create an activity list before creating a network diagram. Document all the known risks before you document the high-level assumptions. Finalize the quality management plan before you determine quality metrics. Subject: Project Management Processes Answer B Explanation: This question is asking which of the choices is the most effective way to move through project planning.
High-level assumptions are determined in project initiating. Quality metrics are determined as part of the quality management plan, not after it. The activity list is created before the network diagram, so that is the best option. Project selection. Answer C Explanation: The project manager should be assigned during project initiating. A project manager gets a call from a team member notifying him that there is a variance between the speed of a system on the project and the desired or planned speed.
If the project manager then evaluates whether the variance warrants a response, he is in which part of the project management process? Executing C. Monitoring and controlling D.
Closing Subject: Project Management Processes Answer C Explanation: Even though the measurement was not identified in planning, the project manager would still have to investigate the variance and determine if it is important.
The project manager is in project monitoring and controlling. It would be BEST for the project manager to be in what part of the project management process?
Corrective action B. Integrated change control C. Project closing Subject: Project Management Processes Answer C Explanation: If you chose another part of the project management process, you probably forgot that the situation needs to be evaluated by the project manager before recommending a change or beginning integrated change control. During a team meeting, a team member asks about the measurements that will be used on the project to assess performance.
The team member feels that some of the measures related to activities assigned to him are not valid measurements. The project is BEST considered to be in what part of the project management process?
Closing B. Monitoring and controlling C. Initiating Subject: Project Management Processes Answer C Explanation: This situation does not describe an actual measurement a monitoring and controlling activity but rather a meeting occurring during project executing. Which of the following is the MOST appropriate thing to do during the initiating process group? Create a detailed description of the project deliverables. Get familiar with the company culture and structure as they relate to the project.
Identify the root cause of problems. Ensure all project management processes are complete. Answer B Explanation: A detailed description of the project deliverables is created during project planning, as part of creating the project scope statement. Root cause analysis occurs during project monitoring and controlling, not initiating.
Ensuring all project management processes are complete occurs during project closing. It is important for a project manager to become familiar with the company culture and structure as they relate to the project as early in the project as possible. This is the most appropriate choice to do in project initiating. Which of the following is a characteristic of project management processes? Iterative B. The project manager must be on top of issues that arise, as well as making regular forecasts of future schedule and cost problems to deal with changes as far in advance as possible.
Change requests must be handled and documented throughout this phase, and stakeholders must be kept informed. During the project execution phase, most of the technical work gets done. Status updates and other project communications are sent to the relevant stakeholders according to the project management plan.
Documents are stored and archived, and stakeholders are managed according to the plan. Throughout the project, the project manager must monitor and control the project work to ensure that project deliverables are on time, on budget and of acceptable quality. Also, stakeholders must be kept satisfied and the project team must be kept motivated and coherent. Monitoring and Controlling the project work occurs concurrently to the Execution phase, therefore the two Process Groups occur in parallel.
Tracking of time deadlines, milestones, etc. Quality of deliverables, stakeholder communication, and high risk potential problems are other areas of regular monitoring. At any time, monitoring can result in changes to the project. If changes are required to any part of the project as documented in the project management plan, they need to be documented and result in an updated plan. Contractual obligations must be completed and contracts closed, final details submitted, and funding requirements finalized.
