You are working on a project to build a multi-story complex in

your city, and you are about to start project planning. As a

starting point for initial project planning, what is the first thing
you should do?

Review the project charter to understand the high-level information about the project.

Conduct a project kick-off meeting to inform and engage stakeholders and gain commitment.

Begin the process of identifying stakeholders so they can be engaged as necessary for
project planning.

Develop the project schedule to manage timely completion of the project

Explanation
The question states that project planning is about to begin which suggests that project initiation has been
completed. The project charter is created during the Develop Project Charter process as part of project
initiation. The project team uses the project charter as a starting point for initial project planning. The type
and amount of information in the project charter varies depending on the complexity of the project and
the information known at the time of its creation. At a minimum, the project charter should define the
high-level information about the project that will be elaborated in the various components of the project
management plan.

Question: 5 Correct

 than receive updates from the project manager, this stakeholder
prefers to contact a team member directly. The stakeholder has a
connection with this team members that is unrelated to the
project and thinks that this is a way to obtain information on the
project’s true status. What should the project manager do?

Ask the stakeholder how the additional information that they feel is missing from current
communications may be provided.

Keep the team member properly informed about project status so that the stakeholder
receives the same information from both sources.

Leave the connection in place, since the information coming via the team member is
unofficial and will not create problems.

Tell the team member not to accept calls from the stakeholder, because these calls have an
adverse effect on the team member’s members productivity.

Explanation
Not good practice that the stakeholder communicate with this team members that is unrelated to the
project because will not provided with the true status of the project.The Project manager should be
proactive and ask the stakeholder how the additional information that they feel is missing from current
communications may be provided.

information on categories of labor, material, and equipment
required to complete your project. This document is known as:

Resource breakdown structure ( RBS )

Resource Calendars

Organization breakdown structure (OBS)

RACI Chart

Explanation
Based on the scenario described, the project team is performing the Estimate Activity Durations process.
An input to this process is the resource breakdown structure (RBS) which is a hierarchical list of team
and physical resources related by category and resource type that is used for planning, managing, and
controlling project work. Each descending level represents an increasingly detailed description of the
resource until the information is small enough to be used in conjunction with the WBS to allow the work to
be planned, monitored, and controlled. [PMBOK 6th edition, Page 198]

Rekha is a project manager on a large construction project.

Rekha had originally planned to use both of the company's tower
crane simultaneously for a project but has just learned that one
of them will be unavailable. Rekha adjusts the schedule so that
the components are created sequentially using the one remaining
tower crane. Unfortunately, this action affects the critical path
and delays the planned finish date of the project. Which of the
following techniques has been used by Rekha in this situation?

Resource leveling

Fast tracking

EXAM 01/200 QA
 Reserve analysis

Critical path method

Explanation
Resource leveling is a resource optimization technique in which start and finish dates are adjusted based
on resource constraints with the goal of balancing the demand for the resources with the available
supply. Resource leveling can often cause the original critical path to change which is what happened in
the scenario described. Adjusting the schedule to accommodate the loss of one of the tower crane is an
example of resource leveling. [PMBOK 6th edition, Page 211]

 Inspection

Independent estimate

Claims administration

Explanation
The scenario suggests the Control Procurements process is underway. Audits are among the tools and
techniques of this
process and are typically used to evaluate a documented procedure to ensure the
procedure is being carried out
according to plan and analyzed for improvements. In this situation, an
audit can be used to review the schedule for the
delivery of material per the contract. The audit results
inform the project manager whether changes need to be made to
the schedule. If the seller is delinquent
in delivering the material, the audit results will also allow the project manager to
determine what, if any,
corrective action should be taken. An audit, as a tool of the Control Procurements process, is how
contract performance is monitored via a
structured review of the procurement process. The project
manager would conduct an audit to compare the
supplier's obligations to deliver material as outlined in
the contract versus their actual performance. Results of the
audit would determine if corrective action
needs to be taken.(PMBOK Guide) – Sixth Edition, Page(s) 498

Activity B

Activity C

Activity D

Explanation
To solve this question, you should calculate the CV and SV for all activities:
Activity A: CV=EV-AC (
7000-7000 = 0 ) & SV= EV-PV ( 7000-8000 = -1000 ) so the project is within budget and behind schedule
. Activity B: CV=EV-AC ( 10,000-9000 = 1000 ) & SV= EV-PV ( 10,000-9000 = 1000 ) so the project is
under budget and ahead of schedule . Activity C: CV=EV-AC ( 9,000 - 8500 = 500) & SV= EV-PV ( 9,000
- 8000 = 1000 ) so the project is under budget and ahead of schedule . Activity D: CV=EV-AC ( 8,000 -
11,000 = -3000) & SV= EV-PV ( 8,000 - 11000 = -3000 ) so the project is over budget and behind
schedule .
