Project Management Practice Test 1-
Graded A
Collaborate/Problem-solve - ANS-Two teams working through a project conflict seek a
win/win solution. Which conflict strategy should they employ?
Project Charter - ANS-A construction company wants to follow proper processes for
projects and their documentation. Which document serves as the official authorization
for a project?
Schedule, Scope, and Budget - ANS-Which parts of a project plan are interdependent
during the planning phase?
Removing a task to plant a garden - ANS-A project to build a new library is behind
schedule. Which adjustment to the project plan will have the best chance of putting the
schedule back on track?
Identify a change request - ANS-A project manager receives a suggestion for an app
feature that was not part of the original development scoping. What should be the first
step taken to add it to the project scope?
To ensure work has been completed accurately and satisfactorily - ANS-A new project
manager wants to know why closing contracts is an important part of the closing phase.
What is the overall purpose?
A building wing where all the specifications for the classrooms are defined up front and
any changes to the specifications have to go through a change control board. - ANS-
Which project is utilizing a predictive approach?
1. A garden area that has a defined space and number of plants to be planted, but the
time frame of the building is not set.
2. A science lab where the specifications of the lab can be defined and adjusted once
the core of the lab is built.
3. A building wing where all the specifications for the classrooms are defined up front
and any changes to the specifications have to go through a change control board.
4. A playground with multiple areas, each with its own individual project, with multiple
fixed scopes, but the overall project is subject to change.
, Reverent - ANS-Which type of project authority is based on comprehensive respect for
a manager's knowledge and leadership abilities, even if the manager is not a subject
matter expert on the actual work to be done?
Finish-finish - ANS-In building a new kitchen for a cafeteria, a stove and the vent above
the stove can be worked on simultaneously. The vent above the stove needs to be in
place before the stove can be tested as part of its completion. Which type of
dependency exists between the vent and the stove task?
Obtaining the wood to build the stands - ANS-For the construction of new stands inside
a gymnasium, which project task is considered to be a procurement?
1. Initiating
2. Planning
3. Executing
4. Monitoring and Controlling
5.Closing - ANS-What is the order of the phases that comprise the project life cycle?
A list of prioritized tasks for a sprint within a project - ANS-A new hire is assigned to a
team addressing a product backlog. What will this person be working on?
A gym space with modular sections - ANS-Which project situation best lends itself to a
hybrid approach?
1. A gym space with modular sections
2. A community garden
3. A financial software project built to regulations
4. A healthcare software project built to regulations
Scope creep - ANS-A software development project has had many aspects added that
were not approved, nor were they presented to a change control board. As a result, the
project will take longer and there is an aggregate risk it will not be done on time. What
has taken place in the project?
Archive the newly discovered process for future projects - ANS-A development team
discovered a faster way to review code without sacrificing quality. What should be done
during the closing phase?
Predictive: Building an airplane
Adaptive: Planting seeds in land over a period of time
