Question 1 of 75
1. Question
During Execution, a newly joined team member wants to review the detailed description of the scope of the work assigned to him.
Which document should team member review?
Correct
Here in this scenario, Team member wants to review the description of scope of work assigned to him, which means he has to review work package level information. Some may get confused between option B and D, Activity Lists may relate the work package, but they do not contain the detailed description of the work package. The WBS dictionary is a document that provides detailed deliverable, activity, and scheduling information about each component in the WBS. It also contains description of work at work package level. Further, from high level point of view, Activity List focuses on your schedule activities (i.e. on the “tasks”) while the WBS Dictionary focuses on describing your deliverables (the “scope”).

Question 2 of 75
2. Question
Arun is a Project Manager of Telecom equipment manufacturing project. The project is risk prone in few areas and running behind schedule. The project still has few open risks which are not yet handled. The corresponding SPI and CPI values are 0.81 and 1.15. The project Manager decides to bring the schedule back on track and complete the project in next 45 days as one of competitors has a plan to launch a similar product in next two months.
What is the best course of action in the given scenario?
Correct
The question states that the project is running behind schedule but within budget and the project manager has to complete the project soon to remain competitive in the market. Since the project is already risk prone, Fast tracking is not advisable in the current situation. As per the situation stated above crashing is the best solution. Crashing is a schedule compression technique that shortens the project schedule without affecting the project scope. Approving overtime, bringing in additional resources and paying to expedite delivery activities are valid examples of crashing. Further, as the project still under budget, the application of crashing technique wont hamper the project budget to a great extent.

The question here talks about Validate Scope process and several experts have to decide the Formal acceptance of a deliverable. Voting is a decision making technique which is widely used in this process to reach a decision or judgement.
B is a technique used in validate scope process but it’s not a Decision Making technique. So, B is not correct. C is again not a decision making technique, so C is also not correct. D is an example decision making technique but generally not used in Validate Scope process. Further in “Autocratic decision making”, one individual takes a decision, but here the question clearly stated about reaching consensus or agreement by applying a decision making technique. So, D is also in correct.
Voting is a decision making technique that is applied, to reach a consensus. Other than Validate scope process, it’s also used in Collect Requirement and Perform Integrated Change Control processes as stated in the question. Therefore, among all options provided, A is the best answer.

Question 43 of 75
43. Question
You are looking for information on personnel rates, travel costs, and other costs that are needed to estimate the overall project budget.
Where is the best place to find this information?
Correct
The scenario suggests you are carrying out the Determine Budget process. Basis of Estimates is an input to the process but it contains supporting details of cost estimates. It generally specifies any basic assumptions dealing with inclusion or exclusion of indirect or other costs in the project budget, so A is not correct. B is not an input for Determine Budget process, so B is not correct. D is an input for the Determine Budget process, but Cost Management Plan describes how the project cost will be structured in the project budget. So, D is also wrong. Based on elimination rule, C is the right answer. Further, the Resource Management Plan which is a valid input to the process, provides information on rates (personnel and other resources), estimation of travel costs, and other foreseen costs that are necessary to estimate the overall project budget. Therefore among all options provided, C is the best answer.
