Nope: please give a brief explanation of answers to all the questions based on scenarios given.

1. You have been working with a general contractor to build your new dream house and have asked that the project status reports show the project's CPI and SPI. The general contractor has heard of CPI and SPI but would like a refresher before including the indexes on the report. Describe to the contractor what CPI and SPI are and how to interpret their numbers.
2. Your company is ready to release a new software update that must be completed in three phases. As the project manager, you have been instructed that each phase must be sequential and cannot run in parallel due to the potential impacts on the users. Knowing that your team consists of three new hires that have never developed a schedule, you decide to facilitate a schedule planning session to go over network diagramming. Describe what a network diagram is and the process of creating a closed network diagram that you will cover in the meeting with your project team.
3. As you review your stakeholder register, you realize that many of your key team members are virtual members, distant geographically and by time zone. Identify two (2) actions and a description of each you can take to ensure these stakeholders are effectively engaged.
4. You have conducted a risk identification session and need to draft clear risk statements for the risk management plan. Provide an example of a risk statement following the cause-condition-conclusion format
5. You have been hired as a consultant to implement a change control process within a new startup. During your first meeting, you sense the owner is confused by the common terms being discussed. Provide the owner a brief description of the change control process and a change request.
6. By definition, all projects come to an end. It is important to plan for the Closing of a project. In a health check analysis by your PMO, it was noted your WBS and activity list did not include Closing. What deliverables or activities could be completed in the Closing of a project? Why is each important? List and explain at least three (3). How can these actions be integrated into the project from its beginning?
7. The Vice President of Program Effectiveness has asked you to serve on a committee to evaluate the risk associated with implementing a matrix organization. Your first meeting has been scheduled and the pre-work is to identify five (5) common challenges within a matrix organization and recommend mitigation strategies for each. Provide five (5) common challenges with corresponding mitigation strategies.
8. You have conducted a risk identification session and need to perform a qualitative risk analysis on each risk. Outline one qualitative risk analysis tool that you will use, and explain how the analysis will be conducted and the benefit of the information presented.
9. The WBS has been completed and activities have been identified. The team is preparing to create estimates for each activity and has asked you to identify and describe at least three (3) types of estimating methods they could use.
10. Your sponsor agrees in general with the qualitative risk analysis that has been completed. She has asked for more refinement around risk analysis and has requested that some level of risk quantitative analysis be prepared. Outline one quantitative risk analysis tool that you will use, and explain how the analysis will be conducted and the benefit of the information presented.
11. The project team is beginning to plan a large construction project to build a new science building on the North-eastern University campus. First, when during the project should the team integrate the process for conducting lessons learned? Second, describe who should participate in the lessons learned sessions. Third, what type of document will be used to record knowledge gained during the project.
12. You are overseeing the development of the overall project baseline. Based on your experience, you know that the overall project baseline is made up of three distinct but related baselines. Identify the three (3) baselines that make up the overall project baseline and briefly describe each.
13. The Scope Statement and the WBS have been drafted. Activities and estimates are created. During the development of the schedule, it is realized that a key deliverable and its associated activities have been missed. Identify five (5) actions that should be taken and explain why?
14. You are working with the project team to develop an estimate for a new construction project. One of the team members wants to pad the general conditions activity line. You caution the team against this approach and tell them there are two common contingency allowances that reserves can be allocated to. Provide a brief description of budget reserves and management reserves and explain why padding or (slush funds) are not an acceptable estimating practice.
15. You have conducted a risk identification session and need to perform a qualitative risk analysis on each risk. Outline one qualitative risk analysis tool that you will use, and explain how the analysis will be conducted and the benefit of the information presented.
16. You are coaching your team members on the estimating process. One team member asks what is the difference between effort, duration, and elapsed time. Provide your response to the team including a description of each term with an example
17. In preparation for planning your project, you review lessons learned from a similar, relevant project. One of the lessons shared was to "Ensure the different components of the project plan are integrated. We overlooked adding the work to mitigate a risk into our WBS and the subsequent plan." Agreeing that this is important, you decide to identify five (5) actions to ensure that the components of your plan are integrated and why it is important to consider these. List your actions and their significance
18. How does the communication plan integrate with other sections of the Integrated Project Plan? List and explain at least three (3) integrations.
