An IT manager needs to upgrade the IT infrastructure of an international company, as the business is quickly expanding. The company expects more capacity will be required in the next three months. Which of the following will be the best procurement method?
A. Build
B. Buy
C. Lease
D. Pay-as-you-go
Show Answer
Correct Answer: D
Explanation: Pay-as-you-go is the best procurement method for a rapidly expanding international company with uncertain but imminent capacity growth. It provides elastic scaling without large upfront investment or long-term commitment, allowing the business to add capacity as demand increases over the next few months while paying only for the resources consumed.
Question 62
A project manager is reviewing deliverables during the planning phase of a project. Which of the following must be completed at this stage?
A. Project objectives
B. Access requirements
C. Preliminary scope statement
D. QA plan
Show Answer
Correct Answer: D
Explanation: The planning phase includes developing the quality management/QA plan, which defines how deliverables will be reviewed and verified. Project objectives are established during initiation, and a preliminary scope statement is generally associated with initiation/high-level project definition. Access requirements are not a standard planning deliverable applicable here.
Question 63
A PM is working on a strategy to store records. Which of the following elements must be included in this plan? (Choose two.)
A. Data management
B. Issue management
C. Work breakdown structure
D. Document management
E. Communication management
F. Risk management
Show Answer
Correct Answer: A, D
Explanation: A records storage strategy should address how project data is governed, stored, protected, and retained (data management) and how project documents are organized, version-controlled, stored, and retrieved (document management). Issue management, WBS, communications, and risk management are project management components but are not the core required elements of a records storage strategy.
Question 64
A project manager needs to ensure that the products produced during the project meet the highest quality standards and that team members understand the importance of these standards. Which of the following should the project manager do?
A. Train the team members.
B. Assess the resource pool.
C. Develop a QA plan.
D. Create RACI matrix.
Show Answer
Correct Answer: C
Explanation: A quality assurance (QA) plan defines the quality standards, processes, roles, and activities used to ensure project deliverables meet required quality levels. It also provides the framework for communicating and reinforcing quality expectations across the team. Training can support quality, but by itself does not establish the project's quality management approach. Assessing the resource pool and creating a RACI matrix do not directly ensure product quality.
Question 65
Which of the following activities are performed during the closing phase? (Choose three.)
A. Requesting project charter sign-off
B. Recognizing project team efforts and rewarding team members
C. Working with the financial team to obtain return of investment
D. Revoking resource credentials from the system
E. Updating the risk register with new findings
F. Informing the functional manager about the release of resources
G. Monitoring project team performance
Show Answer
Correct Answer: B, D, F
Explanation: Closing activities include administrative and organizational wrap-up: recognizing and rewarding the project team, deprovisioning project-specific access/credentials as resources are released, and formally notifying functional managers that resources are released. Requesting project charter sign-off occurs during project initiation, ROI realization is typically post-project/business operations, updating the risk register is primarily done during monitoring and controlling, and monitoring team performance is an executing/monitoring activity.
Question 66
Which of the following should a project manager consult when deciding how to send updates regarding deliverables?
A. Dashboard
B. Status report
C. Meeting minutes
D. Communication plan
Show Answer
Correct Answer: D
Explanation: The communication plan defines what information is communicated, to whom, by what method, and at what frequency. A project manager should consult it to determine how to send updates regarding deliverables. Dashboards and status reports are communication artifacts, while meeting minutes document discussions and decisions rather than prescribe communication methods.
Question 67
Which of the following provides the best justification for undertaking a project?
A. Scope statement
B. Business case
C. Sponsor request
D. Project charter
Show Answer
Correct Answer: B
Explanation: The business case is the document that justifies undertaking a project by evaluating the business need, expected benefits, costs, risks, and strategic alignment. The project charter formally authorizes the project, the scope statement defines project scope, and a sponsor request alone is not the formal justification.
Question 68
A project manager is currently meeting with a vendor who completed the project work. All invoices associated with the project have been paid. Which of the following best describes the project manager’s objective for the vendor meeting?
A. Reassigning resources
B. Removing access
C. Closing contracts
D. Evaluating the project
Show Answer
Correct Answer: C
Explanation: After the vendor has completed the work and all invoices have been paid, the remaining objective is to formally complete procurement closure by verifying completion, finalizing documentation, and closing the contract. Reassigning resources, removing access, or evaluating the overall project are not the primary purpose of this vendor closeout meeting.
Question 69
In which of the following types of architectures is an application moved from Dev to QA to Test to Production?
A. Tiered
B. Business
C. Process
D. Governance
Show Answer
Correct Answer: A
Explanation: The sequence Dev → QA → Test → Production refers to promoting an application through deployment environments (tiers). This is commonly described as a tiered or multi-environment architecture. 'Process architecture' describes business or operational workflows rather than the environment topology itself.

Question 70
Which of the following artifacts should project team members use if they want to identify who to communicate with and at what level?
A. Concept of operations
B. WBS
C. Integrated master schedule
D. RACI
Show Answer
Correct Answer: D
Explanation: A RACI matrix defines who is Responsible, Accountable, Consulted, and Informed for project work. It is commonly used to identify the appropriate stakeholders to communicate with and their level of involvement. The concept of operations describes operational use, the WBS decomposes project scope, and the integrated master schedule focuses on timing rather than communication responsibilities.
