Question 2 of 58
2. Question
A junior team member of your agile project wants to know under which of the following circumstances, an agile team can re-estimate the level or size of effort that is required to complete a user story during an iteration. Which of the following should be your answer?
Correct
The ideal days and the number of story points estimates the size and overall complexity of the considered user story. But they alone are not capable to estimate the time needed to make the user story completed. The required time depends on the size of a user story (estimated in form of ideal days and story points) and the velocity of the development team i.e how many story points on an average the team completes. In other terms, these story points are the effort required to complete a user story during an iteration and it should be re-estimated when the team thinks that the relative size of the user story has changed. If the relative size changes, the team can re-estimate the size of story points to have a better idea of the effort and work to be done to complete that user story.

Question 3 of 58
3. Question
The cost performance index (CPI) on the project is 1.13, and the benefit-cost ratio is 1.2. The project scope was created by the team and stakeholders, and requirements have been changing throughout the project. No matter what the project manager has tried to accomplish in managing the project, which of the following is he most likely to face in the future?
Correct
There are many pieces of data in this question that are distractions from the real issue. Though it is common to have to cut costs and add resources to a project, nothing in the question should lead you to think these will be required in this situation. Customers do not generally approve the project scope (what you are going to do to complete their requirements); instead, they approve the product scope (their requirements). Since requirements are used to measure the completion of the product of the project, not having complete requirements will make such measurement impossible.

Question 4 of 58
4. Question
You are managing a large interior design project, when two team members come to you with a conflict. The senior designer has identified an important project risk, you have a subcontractor that may not deliver on time. Another senior designer doesn’t believe that the risk is likely to happen; however, you consult the lessons learned from previous projects and discover that subcontractors failed to deliver their work on two previous projects. You decide that the risk is too big and you terminate the contract with the subcontractor, and instead hired additional freelance designers to build the work. Both team members agree that this has eliminated the risk. Which of the following best describes this scenario?
Correct
The best thing that you can do with a risk is avoid it – if you can prevent it from happening, it definitely won’t hurt your project. The easiest way to avoid a risk is to cut it out of your project entirely; in this case, getting rid of the subcontractor avoids the risk.

5. Question
You are managing an accounting project for your organization, and the project was initiated in the last month and is expected to be finished in 12 months. New CFO is hired at your company and he will be affected by all accounting projects in your company. What’s the best thing for you to do?
Correct
Since the CFO is affected by your project, that means he’s a stakeholder. The best thing you can do in this situation is get the new stakeholder’s opinion incorporated in the project up front. It’s important that all of the project stakeholders understand the needs and objectives that the project is meant to address. The worst case is to have the stakeholder’s opinion incorporated at the end of the project — that could mean a lot of re-work or even an entirely unacceptable product.

Question 22 of 58
22. Question
You are managing a software development project. You are partway through the project, and your team has just delivered a preliminary version of part of the software. You are holding a weekly status meeting, when one of the team members points out that an important stakeholder is running into a problem with one of the features of the current software. The team member feels that there is a risk that the stakeholder will ask for a change in that feature, even though that change would be out of scope of the current release – and if the stakeholder requests that change, there is a high probability that the change control board would approve the change. What is the best action to take next?
Correct
Your risk register is one of the most important project management tools that you have – that’s why you review it and go over your risks at every meeting. Any time you come across a new risk, the first thing you should do is document it in the risk register. It’s really easy to lose track of risks, especially when you’re running a big project. By adding every risk to the register, you make sure that you don’t forget about any of them. So once you’ve identified the risk, what’s the next step? You analyze the impact and probability of the risk! That’s what the Qualitative Risk Analysis processes for. You shouldn’t take any other action until you’ve analyzed the risk. The reason is that it might turn out that the risk is very unlikely, and there might be another risk with a higher probability and larger impact that deserves your attention.

You are done with risk analysis for your project, and you ended these efforts by defining the need of $280,000 contingency reserves and a guess on management reserves of $50,000. While managing the project risks responses implementation, a team member notified you that two risks which were expected to impact the project with an extra cost of $100,000 and $50,000 are no longer valid, as these risks were related to delay in material which arrived to site already. Another unidentified risk occurred in the past month and impacted the project through outsourcing a third party for 5 working days with a daily rate of $2,000. Given that the likelihood of the two risks was 10%, and 20% respectively, and that you need to update the reserves report. What are the remaining contingency reserves on your project?
