,Section 1: Plan Scope Management & Collect Requirements | 2026/2027
Q1 Question 1 of 50
A senior project manager at a healthcare technology firm is initiating a new electronic
health records implementation project. Before gathering any stakeholder needs, she must
first establish how scope will be defined, validated, and controlled throughout the project.
The document that provides this framework is which of the following?
A. Scope management plan as a component of the project management plan
B. Project charter outlining high-level scope boundaries
C. Requirements traceability matrix linking needs to deliverables
D. Stakeholder engagement plan describing communication approaches
Correct Answer: A
Rationale:
The scope management plan is the output of the Plan Scope Management process and describes how the
project scope will be defined, validated, and controlled. The project charter provides high-level scope but
does not describe the processes for managing scope. The requirements traceability matrix tracks
requirements, not the scope management approach. The stakeholder engagement plan addresses
communication, not scope processes.
Q2 Question 2 of 50
A project manager leading a software development project needs to determine how
requirements will be collected and analyzed. She creates a requirements management
plan that specifies traceability, configuration management, and prioritization techniques.
This plan is an output of which project scope management process?
A. Collect Requirements, which generates the plan as a byproduct
B. Define Scope, which establishes how requirements feed the scope statement
C. Plan Scope Management, which produces both scope and requirements management
plans
D. Develop Project Management Plan, which integrates all subsidiary plans
Correct Answer: C
Rationale:
The Plan Scope Management process produces two outputs: the scope management plan and the
requirements management plan. These documents establish the framework for how scope and
requirements will be handled throughout the project. Collect Requirements uses the requirements
management plan as an input, not a source. Define Scope occurs after requirements are collected.
Develop Project Management Plan integrates subsidiary plans but does not create them individually.

, Q3 Question 3 of 50
A construction project manager is planning scope management for a new hospital wing.
She decides to use expert judgment and meetings as her primary tools to develop the
scope management plan. The expert judgment in this context would most appropriately
come from which source?
A. The project scheduling team with expertise in critical path analysis
B. The finance department with expertise in budget variance tracking
C. The marketing team with expertise in patient acquisition strategies
D. Industry consultants with specialized healthcare construction knowledge
Correct Answer: D
Rationale:
Expert judgment for scope management planning should come from individuals or groups with specialized
knowledge relevant to the project domain, such as healthcare construction consultants. Scheduling
expertise supports time management, not scope planning. Finance supports cost management. Marketing
expertise is unrelated to scope definition for a construction project.
Q4 Question 4 of 50
A project team working on a mobile banking application is collecting requirements from
various stakeholders including customers, compliance officers, and IT security staff. The
team uses focus groups and facilitated workshops to elicit requirements. The primary
advantage of facilitated workshops over individual interviews in this context is which of the
following?
A. Workshops allow stakeholders to resolve conflicting requirements in real time
B. Workshops produce fewer requirements making them easier to manage
C. Workshops eliminate the need for documentation of requirements
D. Workshops require less preparation time than structured interviews
Correct Answer: A
Rationale:
Facilitated workshops bring stakeholders together to collaboratively define and resolve conflicting
requirements in real time, producing a more cohesive set of requirements. Workshops typically generate
more comprehensive requirements, not fewer. Documentation is still required. Workshops often require
more preparation and skilled facilitation than interviews.
