Sample questions

PMP · Q1
Question #1 A project manager leads a software development project in a hybrid environment. During project planning, the project manager identified a risk where a technical resource for a critical path item may not be available when needed. One week before the resource is needed, the technical engineer had a personal emergency and had to take a leave. What should the project manager do next?
  • A.
    Consult the risk register for an appropriate planned risk response and implement.
  • B.
    Revise the project management plan and move the task to a time when the technical resource will be available.
  • C.
    Review the business requirement with stakeholders and exclude the task assigned to the technical resource.
  • D.
    Update the lessons learned report and the risk log to reflect that this risk has materialized.

Answer: A

In a project, when a risk materializes as in this case where the technical resource for a critical path item is unavailable due to a personal emergency, the first step should be to refer to the risk register. The risk register contains pre-planned risk responses that have been identified during the risk management process. Implementing an appropriate planned response helps in dealing with the situation in a structured way. Option B of revising the project management plan and moving the task might not be the best immediate solution as it can disrupt the overall project schedule and dependencies. Option C of excluding the task is a drastic measure and may not be in line with the project requirements. Option D of just updating the lessons learned report and risk log is not sufficient as it doesn't address the immediate issue of dealing with the unavailable resource.
PMP · Q2
Question #2 A team has just adopted an agile approach. During daily standup meetings, the team expressed concerns about task delays. The project leader worked with the product owner to get clarity on the features. The project leader asked the team to fast-track all product features to ensure delivery. Sprints are being completed but with either fewer features or low quality. What should the project leader have done to ensure success?
  • A.
    Asked the team to create an impediment log and keep it updated for use in the next sprint planning
  • B.
    Directed teams to possible solutions that help in removing the impediments and contribute to a timely delivery
  • C.
    Suggested to the team to add impediments as work items in the product backlog to be fixed in the next sprints
  • D.
    Empowered the team to improve their processes, tools, and interactions to be more effective in delivery and removing impediments

Answer: D

In an agile environment, the project leader should empower the team to improve their processes, tools, and interactions. When the team is facing concerns about task delays and the sprints are not delivering the expected features or quality despite the leader's attempts to fast-track, the root cause often lies in the team's ability to self-organize and solve problems. By empowering the team, they can identify and address the impediments in a more effective way. Option A of creating an impediment log is a good practice but doesn't directly solve the problem of the team's effectiveness. Option B of directing the team to solutions takes away the team's ability to learn and improve on their own. Option C of adding impediments as work items in the product backlog doesn't ensure that the team will be able to fix them effectively.
PMP · Q3
Question #3 A team is delivering features to a customer at every iteration. After completing each iteration, the customer is invited for a review. However, the customer is frequently not available and the review is often delayed, which results in increased rework for the team. What should the project manager do?
  • A.
    Include the customer in daily project activities to gain the required guidance
  • B.
    Plan ahead and define the best way to review the deliverables with the customer
  • C.
    Request the customer to clarify all requirements at the start of each iteration
  • D.
    Ask the customer to review the deliverables in each iteration based on their availability

Answer: B

Since the customer's unavailability for reviews is causing increased rework for the team, the project manager should plan ahead and define the best way to review the deliverables with the customer. This could involve setting up a more structured review schedule, using alternative review methods if the customer can't be physically present, etc. Option A of including the customer in daily project activities may not be practical or necessary and may not solve the review issue. Option C of asking the customer to clarify all requirements at the start of each iteration doesn't address the problem of the customer's unavailability for reviews. Option D of asking the customer to review based on their availability may lead to further delays and rework.
PMP · Q4
Question #4 A project manager is part of a team that is launching a series of features to comply with a new regulation. The team has only 6 weeks to release the features to the legacy applications. During the standup meeting, a software engineer indicated that the development of an important feature is on hold until the assigned designer completes a specific task. This delay is a serious road block to meeting the release date. What should the project manager do?
  • A.
    Meet with the design team manager to inform them of the current status and request an additional designer
  • B.
    Ask the software engineer to move forward without completing the important feature
  • C.
    Contact the design team manager and ask to reconsider the priority list based on the latest situation
  • D.
    Meet with the designer to share the current status and develop a solution to complete the task

Answer: D

When the development of an important feature is on hold due to a designer's task not being completed, the best approach is for the project manager to meet with the designer to share the current status and develop a solution to complete the task. This direct communication can help in understanding the designer's situation, finding ways to prioritize or expedite the task, and ensuring that the release date can still be met. Option A of meeting with the design team manager may take more time and may not directly address the issue with the specific designer. Option B of asking the software engineer to move forward without completing the important feature may lead to quality issues or further complications. Option C of asking to reconsider the priority list without directly involving the designer may not be effective.
PMP · Q5
Question #5 A project manager is working with a customer's team on a new project. Some product definitions and requirements are still not clear, but the customer wants to start activities as soon as possible. The organization is also expecting product delivery for a specific date due to a regulatory requirement. Due to the nature of the project, the project manager has decided to use a hybrid approach.

Why did the project manager choose a hybrid approach?

  • A.
    A hybrid approach will enable project activities to start immediately and allow for a plan for the requirements definitions
  • B.
    A hybrid approach will allow the project manager to revise the product specifications
  • C.
    A hybrid approach will allow for management of the requirement uncertainties as well as the date restriction
  • D.
    A hybrid approach will ensure the delivery date is accomplished and will eliminate product uncertainties

Answer: C

hybrid approach is chosen because it allows for managing the requirement uncertainties (as some product definitions and requirements are not clear) as well as dealing with the date restriction (due to regulatory requirements). In a hybrid approach, elements of both predictive and agile methodologies can be used. Predictive aspects can help in planning for the date constraint, and agile elements can be used to adapt to the changing requirements. Option A only focuses on starting activities immediately and doesn't fully address the requirement uncertainties. Option B of revising product specifications is not the main reason for choosing a hybrid approach. Option D is incorrect as a hybrid approach doesn't eliminate product uncertainties but rather manages them.
