DAU - PM PRACTITIONER EXAM 2025 WITH 100%
ACCURATE SOLUTIONS
1. What is one key benefit of Performance Based Logistics (PBL)
arrangements?
Longer Procurement Times
Reduced Agency Collaboration
Increased Material Availability
Higher Development Costs
2. Describe the role of communications in the context of the Navy's
evaluation of a contractor's past performance.
Communications are used to finalize contracts without any prior
evaluation.
Communications are irrelevant in the evaluation of contractor
proposals.
Communications allow the Navy to gather detailed information
about the contractor's previous issues, such as late deliveries, to
make informed decisions during the proposal evaluation
process.
Communications serve only to inform the public about contract
awards.
3. ACME Software Inc. continuously collects feedback from its existing
customers and implements them as bug fixes and new features in the
latest versions of their software. This strategy relates most closely with
,which of the following concepts?
contingency anchor
open systems
, grounded theory
virtual teams
4. When should Affordability Goals be established?
Milestone B
Milestone C
Materiel Development Decision (MDD)
Milestone A
5. What analysis is used to influence design and determine cost-effective
support for a system throughout its life cycle?
Performance-Based Logistics (PBL)
Product Support Analysis (PSA)
Life Cycle Cost Analysis (LCCA)
Requirements Traceability Analysis
6. Affordability is most concerned with:
Use of state-of-the-art design and materials to accomplish the
mission documented in the Initial Capabilities Document (ICD) and
Capability Development Document (CDD).
Use of commercial design practices to save development and
production costs.
Making tradeoffs in performance and schedule to achieve cost
objectives within affordability constraints.
Making tradeoffs that will provide the best possible system in the
least amount of time.
, 7. What is the term used for S&T activities that focus on translating promising
technology into military solutions?
Exploratory Research
Applied Research
Developmental Research
Basic Research
8. If the Department of Defense decides to implement multiyear
procurement for a new aircraft engine program, what potential benefits
could arise from this decision?
Limited supplier options and decreased competition
Higher initial costs and increased risk of obsolescence
Increased administrative overhead and longer procurement
cycles
Cost savings and reduced procurement time
9. What is the primary objective of the Middle Tier Acquisition (MTA)
pathway in the Adaptive Acquisition Framework?
To ensure compliance with budgetary constraints in defense
procurement.
To develop long-term acquisition strategies for major defense
programs.
To field a prototype that meets requirements and can be
demonstrated in an operational environment.
To provide ongoing support for existing defense systems.
10. What is the primary purpose of configuration management in system
engineering?
