PMD Pro: 3
Which of the following are "hard" skills required to manage people effectively during the Project
Implementation Phase? - ANS-1, 3, 4: Conducting performance assessments, Creating job
descriptions, Acquiring Project Staff
What is an unresolved decision, situation or problem that will significantly impact a project
called? - ANS-Issue
Which issue management process is described by the statement: 'actions intended to ensure
issue are resolved in a timely and effective manner?' - ANS-Issue analysis
Which of the following is an example of an internal control system? - ANS-1, 2, 3: A
record-keeping protocol for information management, A vehicle mileage log, A Segregation of
Duties policy for financial roles
Which issue management process does this statement describe 'understanding the issue
sufficiently to consider future consequences of action plans made to resolve it.' - ANS-Issue
analysis
What is the purpose of project evaluation? - ANS-Determines the extent to which the project is
contributing to achievement of outcomes and goals
Assuming a four level logical framework based on the PMD Pro model, monitoring primarily
corresponds to the activity and [ ? ] levels. - ANS-Output
Project evaluation corresponds primarily with what two levels of the logical framework? -
ANS-Outcomes and goals
Which statement best defines the concept of project tolerances? - ANS-The performance limits
within which the project manager can retain autonomy
Which example is a goal-level indicator (assuming a four-level Logical Framework based on the
PMD Pro Model)? - ANS-Percentage reduction in morbidity from water related diseases
In international development projects the primary purpose of [ ? ] is to measure the progress of
the day-to-day operations of the project. - ANS-Project monitoring
What is the correct sequence of project scheduling activities? - ANS-4, 3, 2, 1: Activity definition,
sequencing, resource estimating, duration estimating
