Question 112
A car manufacturer is presenting to three vendors the abilities and qualifications required to develop the last module of a data warehouse application. The manufacturer is emphasizing the technical skills necessary to complete the project on time and highlighting its current internal IT project. Which of the following best describes this activity?
A. Key stakeholder identification
B. Preliminary procurement
C. Solution design determination
D. Critical factor enlistment
Show Answer
Correct Answer: B
Explanation: Presenting required skills, qualifications, and project context to prospective vendors before selection is part of the early procurement process. This activity is a vendor briefing used to communicate requirements and assess vendor capability prior to formal contracting, which aligns with preliminary procurement.
Question 113
Which of the following is the best alternative to allow multiple users to edit a project plan in real time?
A. Send the file through email as an attachment.
B. Share access to the file on a wiki knowledge base.
C. Access the file through an online application.
D. Schedule an in-person meeting to review the plan.
Show Answer
Correct Answer: C
Explanation: An online collaborative application (such as a cloud-based document or project management tool) supports simultaneous real-time editing by multiple users. Email attachments create separate copies, a wiki is not the standard solution for collaborative project plan editing in real time, and an in-person meeting does not enable concurrent document editing.
Question 114
A principle states 80% of the issues are the result of 20% of the causes. Which of the following types of diagrams is based on this principle?
A. Pareto
B. Scatter
C. Network
D. Fishbone
Show Answer
Correct Answer: A
Explanation: The 80/20 rule is the Pareto Principle, and the Pareto chart is the diagram based on this principle. It ranks causes or categories by frequency or impact to highlight the small number of causes responsible for the majority of problems.
Question 115
A sponsor is working on a document that states the objectives and success criteria of the project, as well as the person to be appointed as project manager. Which of the following should the newly appointed project manager do next?
A. Conduct a risk assessment.
B. Create a project scope document.
C. Identify stakeholders.
D. Perform a lessons learned.
Show Answer
Correct Answer: C
Explanation: The described document is the project charter: it authorizes the project, states objectives and success criteria, and names the project manager. After being appointed and with the charter in place, the project manager's next initiation activity is to identify stakeholders, which is performed early and informs subsequent planning such as scope and risk management. Lessons learned are typically captured from prior projects or at project closure, not as the next step for initiating the new project.
Question 116
Hackers are attempting to extract large amounts of data to sell on the dark web. Which of the following steps should a project manager take next to mitigate this risk?
A. Update the issue log.
B. Apply the contingency plan.
C. Transfer the risk.
D. Submit a change request.
Show Answer
Correct Answer: B
Explanation: A hacking attempt aimed at exfiltrating data represents a risk event that is occurring or has triggered. The appropriate next action is to execute the predefined risk response (contingency plan) to mitigate the impact. Updating the issue log is an administrative follow-up, transferring the risk is generally done before the event via mechanisms like insurance or contracts, and submitting a change request is not the immediate response to an active risk event.
Question 117
A quality assurance team is based in three different locations. To validate the project deliverables, a project manager sent the hardware for testing purposes to the team in each of the locations. Two teams confirmed the hardware arrived, but one group did not receive it because of local customs. Which of the following ESG factors is the project team facing?
A. Awareness of the company vision, mission statement, and values.
B. Impact of the project on the company’s brand value.
C. Awareness of applicable regulations and standards.
D. Impact of the project on the local and global environments.
Show Answer
Correct Answer: C
Explanation: The hardware failed to reach one location because it was stopped by local customs, which is a regulatory and compliance issue. This indicates the project team needed awareness of applicable import/export regulations and standards in that jurisdiction. The other options relate to corporate values, brand impact, or environmental impact, none of which directly explain the customs-related delivery problem.
Question 118
While in the closing phase of a project, the project manager gathers feedback from stakeholders. Which of the following best describes a benefit of this feedback?
A. It highlights the performance issues of the project manager and team members.
B. It lets the project manager know which stakeholders are allies for future projects.
C. It helps the project manager create a more structured lessons-learned session.
D. It identifies the stakeholders’ real opinions about the project.
Show Answer
Correct Answer: C
Explanation: In project closing, stakeholder feedback is an input to documenting lessons learned and updating organizational process assets. A key benefit is that it improves the quality and structure of the lessons-learned process by incorporating stakeholder perspectives. While feedback does reveal stakeholder opinions, the primary project management benefit in the closing process is using that information to capture lessons for future projects.
Question 119
A stakeholder called a project manager on the telephone to ask for a status report. Which of the following describe this type of communication? (Choose two.)
A. Formal
B. Internal
C. Informal
D. Verbal
E. Indirect
F. External
Show Answer
Correct Answer: C, D
Explanation: A telephone status request is spoken communication, so it is verbal. It is typically considered informal because it is an ad hoc conversation rather than a formal documented report. Whether it is internal or external depends on the stakeholder, which is not specified, so those cannot be concluded.
Question 120
Project members are based in three countries and each work remotely. Which of the following would a project manager use to improve internal project communication?
A. Progress reporting
B. Meeting minutes
C. Team touch points
D. Change management
Show Answer
Correct Answer: C
Explanation: For a geographically distributed remote team, regular team touch points (such as recurring check-ins or virtual meetings) are the most effective way to improve internal project communication. Progress reports and meeting minutes communicate information after the fact, while change management addresses handling changes rather than day-to-day team communication.
