You are developing the risk management plan for your project. In support of this process, you need to determine the acceptable level of overall project risk exposure.

What should you do first?

Determine the risk appetites of key project stakeholders

Consult the risk exposure register within the organizational process assets

Facilitate a brainstorming meeting to develop a comprehensive list of project risks

Develop a set of responses to individual project risks to mitigate overall project risk

You meet with your team to determine the life cycle for your project. After analyzing the best way to define and manage requirements, develop deliverables, handle changes, control risk and cost, and engage key stakeholders, the decision is made to select a hybrid life cycle.

With the project life cycle selected, how will the product be delivered?

As subsets of the overall product

As a single final product at the end of the project

As work packages of the WBS

As product increments based on customer's value

As a project manager, you are in the process of estimating the team resources that will be required for your project. The challenge you are having is that, due to the nature of the project and the selected development approach, only a few of the top levels of the WBS have been identified with the remainder to be progressively elaborated throughout the project.

What is the best approach to determine the team resource requirements for the project?

Check the organizational process assets for similar projects and use analogous estimating

Apply bottom-up estimating using the work breakdown structure (WBS) as a guide

Utilize parametric estimating for the individual work packages within the existing WBS

Decompose the WBS down to the work package level during initial project planning

You are part of a project team designing a new type of a vehicle. You are about to begin work on a work package for the braking system of the vehicle and want to review the acceptance criteria before starting the work.

Where can you find this information?

Project management plan

Activity attributes

Requirements documentation

The WBS dictionary

A project to construct an assembly line is nearly complete. The project manager closes procurements, shares the final project report, updates the lessons learned repository, and obtains feedback from the relevant stakeholders.

What should the project manager do next?

Provide final payment to the suppliers

Send a summary of how the final product achieved the business needs

Transfer the completed assembly line to operations

Send formal written notice to the vendors that the contracts have been completed

A project team is mulling over two risk responses for inclusion in the risk register. The first risk response has two criteria that must be met and costs $5,000. The second risk response has four criteria that must be met, but only costs $2,000.

What action is the project team least likely to take in selecting the best risk response?

Running a Monte Carlo simulation

Performing an alternatives analysis

Conducting a cost-benefit analysis

Using multicriteria decision analysis

To acquire resources for the project, the project manager consults the resource management plan. The plan calls for the scrum master to be assigned to the team. However, the only individual in the company qualified to serve as a scrum master has already started working on another project, and her functional manager does not cooperate on a potential resolution.

How could this situation have been prevented?

The project manager should have checked the project's resource calendars for the availability of the scrum master.

The project sponsor should have directed the project manager to serve as both the project manager and the scrum master.

The scrum master should have refused to work on the other project knowing that she is the only qualified resource in the company.

The availability of the scrum master should have been negotiated between the functional manager and the project manager during project initiation.

A project team is using the Stacey Complexity Model to map the degree of uncertainty in the project and select the appropriate project life cycle. As the meeting progresses, it becomes evident that while the requirements are well-known, the team is unfamiliar with the technology required to implement them. As a result, the team selects an adaptive project life cycle.

Where on the Stacey Complexity Model did the team most likely map the project?

Your project team members are writing software code together as a pair and reviewing each other's work to determine if the code conforms to the requirements documentation.

Which of the following will be a result of these reviews?

Accepted deliverable

Acceptance criteria

Work performance data

Verified deliverable

As part of the Direct and Manage Project Work process, the project manager conducts an iteration planning meeting. The meeting is dominated by the most senior developer who frequently and sharply interrupts the other team members. The project manager wants to ensure that during the next iteration planning meeting all voices are heard.

What is the project manager's best course of action?

Discuss the issue with the senior developer, and for the next meeting allocate equal amounts of time for each team member to speak

Inform the senior developer's functional manager about this unacceptable behavior and request that the manager take disciplinary action

Post a copy of the team's social contract in the meeting room and review the contents at the start of the next iteration planning meeting

Invite the sponsor to the next iteration planning meeting to have the senior developer be more thoughtful in the presence of the sponsor

The scrum master, business analyst, programmers, and testers have been assigned to a product development project. The performing organization is well-versed with the traditional waterfall framework but will incorporate scrum for the software development phase of the project.

What is the best strategy to ensure that all of the scrum roles and responsibilities are served in the project?

Remove the business analyst from the software development phase since that role is only associated with waterfall project management

Mentor the business analyst to serve in the role of the product owner during the software development phase since those roles are closely aligned

Request that one of the programmers serve as the voice-of-the-customer for the purposes of prioritizing the items in the product backlog

Ask the most experienced tester to approve or reject the deliverables during the sprint review as testers are typically most familiar with the product

12. The construction project has many people and specialized teams at the worksite every day. Frequent communication between the team leads is critical for safety and efficiency.

Which agile ceremony can this project incorporate to increase timely cross-functional communication?

Iteration reviews

Risk-based spikes

Retrospectives

Daily standups
