To mitigate the risk of the team not feeling confident about the product increment, the project
manager should schedule an additional interim demo with the product owner. This will give the
team an opportunity to validate their work with the product owner and receive feedback early in
the sprint. This feedback can then be incorporated into the work before the end of the sprint,
which can improve the quality of the product increment and increase the team's confidence in it.
Additionally, it's important for the project manager to communicate the need for an additional
demo with the stakeholders and to make sure that the team has enough time to incorporate the
feedback into their work.

QUESTION 4
During a project meeting, the project manager expressed the importance of delivering reports on
time. These individual reports will be consolidated into a single report. One of the team member's
reports was not delivered on time and therefore the report could not be integrated with the other
reports. This demonstrates a lack of teamwork and impacts project success.
What should the project manager do to resolve this issue?

A. Assign the task to someone else on the team.

B. Discuss it with the team member in confidence.
C. Discuss this matter during the project meeting.
D. Include this item in the risk register.

Answer: B
Explanation:
The project manager should first discuss this issue with the team member in confidence to
understand the reasons for the delay and to identify any possible solutions.

QUESTION 5
A client wants to create an innovative software for the travel industry using an agile approach. A
project manager from the company was assigned to work on the details and estimates as
requested by the client.
What should the project manager do before sending the information to the client?

A. Put the tasks with estimates in the backlog and clarify that the project will not need any reserves.
B. Sequence the tasks with estimates and add standard risk reserves to use for software
development.
C. Analyze the tasks, provide estimates, include a prototype demo, and send to the client directly.
D. Work with the team to understand their views and add the appropriate dependencies and risks.

Explanation:
You can't provide a prototype, at least a good one without consulting with the team first or even
having any work done. The selected answer seems like the PM is doing everything without even
talking with the team, and that's a recipe for failure.

objectives. This allows for clear identification and tracking of what needs to be accomplished in
order to successfully complete the project. Additionally, it helps ensure that all necessary tasks
are captured, and that the team is focused on delivering what is expected by the stakeholders
and customer.

QUESTION 7
In the past year, a company paid US$60,000 to an external subcontractor for an ongoing project.
The project manager has been asked to evaluate if the project can be delivered more cost
effectively this year by using internal labor. The project manager used an optimistic term of 4
months, a pessimistic term of 6 months, and a most expected term of 5 months, and has
concluded that the service can be delivered with the following resources:

- Two engineers (monthly salary of US$700 each)

- One project manager (monthly salary of US$1,600)
- Additional estimated monthly expenses of US$2,000

The project manager used the program evaluation and review technique (PERT) to calculate the
savings if the project is delivered with in-house resources.
How much money will the project manager estimate the company can save?

A. US$35,000
B. US$20,000
C. US$40,000
D. US$30,000

Answer: A
Explanation:
PERT formula is (Pessimistic value + Optimistic Value+ 4* Most likely)/6 = [4+6+(4*5)]/6= 5
Months . 5 months * total cost (1400+1600+2000) = 25000 is the actual cost. So, the savings will
be 60000-25000= 35000.

its objectives, and its current status. By presenting the project to the stakeholder, the project
manager can ensure that the stakeholder is aware of the project's goals, timelines, and
deliverables, and that they understand the impact that their decisions may have on the project.
This will help the project manager to manage the stakeholder's expectations and ensure that their
influence on the project is aligned with the project's goals.

QUESTION 9
In a hybrid project, the customer has issued a contract that specifies the deliverables for each
quarter. The customer wants to show their stakeholders a tangible outcome in the first quarter
and wants to move the second milestone to the first quarter. The project manager explains to the
customer that it is not feasible unless the requirements for the second milestone are changed.
Which two actions should the project manager take? (Choose two.)

A. Ask the customer for their priorities regarding the requirements for the second milestone.
B. Escalate the issue to upper management to resolve the problem, and suggest a plan.
C. Convince the customer to leave the second milestone in place and not change it.
D. Tell the customer that moving the milestone has a very high impact on the cost of the project.
E. Go back to the development team and discuss which second milestone requirements can be
performed in the first quarter.

Answer: AE
Explanation:
The project manager should first ask the customer for their priorities regarding the requirements
for the second milestone in order to understand the reasons behind the customer's request and
how it aligns with their overall project goals. This can help the project manager to identify which
requirements are most important to the customer and which ones can be delayed or modified.
The project manager should also go back to the development team and discuss which second
milestone requirements can be performed in the first quarter. The team may be able to identify
which requirements can be accelerated or modified to meet the customer's desired outcome in
the first quarter. This can help the project manager to develop a plan that meets the customer's
needs while minimizing the impact on the overall project schedule and cost.

B. Use the contingency reserve and subcontract the work.

QUESTION 11
A project manager encounters a governance issue during the project execution phase. One of the

A. Clear project work breakdown structure (WBS) and timeline

B. Resource management and conflict resolution plan
C. Risk management and issues resolution plan
D. Clear responsible, accountable, consult, and inform (RACI) matrix

consulted, and who should be informed. This will help to ensure that there is a clear
understanding of who is responsible for assigning tasks and managing work assignments. This

able to work effectively.

D. Schedule a meeting with the product owner and finance team to agree on course corrections.

A. The project sprint board has not been updated

B. Daily standup meetings were not held or enforced
C. The project status dashboard has not been updated
D. The communications management plan has not been developed

Answer: B
Explanation:
In Scrum, a sprint is a time-boxed iteration of work during which a specific set of tasks is
completed and delivered. During a sprint, daily standup meetings, also known as daily Scrums,
are held to provide an opportunity for team members to communicate with each other and
coordinate their work.
The purpose of daily standup meetings is to ensure that team members are aware of what each
other is working on, identify any issues or obstacles that need to be addressed, and coordinate
their efforts to ensure that the tasks for the sprint are completed on time. If daily standup
meetings are not held or enforced, it can lead to a communication gap and a lack of coordination
among team members, which can negatively impact the progress and success of the sprint.

B. Involve the stakeholder in governance and decision making
C. Consult with the stakeholder and increase their level of interest
D. The stakeholder needs to be made aware of the project progress

Answer: A
Explanation:
Keep the stakeholder informed and consult with them based on their needs is the best approach.

input or guidance when necessary. It is important to consult with the stakeholder to understand
their needs and priorities and to align the project with those as much as possible.

non-virtual teams. Exactly, when you know it is a required step then why skip it? Before you even
move on the option E, you first need to identify the what kind of resources or skills are required
