Question 96 - Qid 6113139, Resource Management, 2. Process, 9.5 Manage Team

A project manager facilitates a discussion with the team about experimenting with
some agile practices in their plan-driven project. A suggestion of incorporating daily
standups is on the table. The team members, however, are unsure of what is expected
of them.

What can the project manager suggest the project team members do prior to the daily
standup?

Make sure their work progress is reflected in the burndown chart

Submit the necessary progress reports to the product owner

Estimate work items that will be developed after the daily standup

Resolve any defects that have been found in the previous day

Question 97 - Qid 6113142, Risk Management, 2. Process, 11.6 Implement Risk

Responses

The project team is undergoing an agile transformation. This requires the team
members to maintain their original project plans in the current management tool, but
also enter performance data in the new tool built around agile practices. The team
identifies that the information in the two tools is out of sync. This risk has been
identified earlier in project planning.

What is the best course of action for the project manager?

Accept the risk since agile values individuals and interactions over processes and tools

Recognize that the risk has now become an issue and implement the planned response

Conduct a probability and impact assessment to determine a risk score

Communicate to the project sponsor that work may be delayed due to clerical errors

Question 98 - Qid 6113143, Integration Management, 2. Process, 2.4 Organizational

Systems

Projects in a program are using various project management approaches, such as plan-
driven, agile, hybrid. The project teams are complaining that because of that, the team
members must enter the same work, hours, risks, and other data in multiple tools. The
redundant work is impeding on their productivity time.

What is the best course of action for the program manager?

Direct the teams to continue entering the data in the various systems

Determine what tools and data provide the appropriate oversight

Switch all projects in the program to the agile project management approach

Pause all data entry until a valuable solution can be determined

Project Knowledge

Senior leadership has returned from a conference where they have learned about the
agile practice of retrospectives. Even though the organization does not manage any
projects in an agile manner, they mandate that from now on this ceremony is included
in all projects.

How should the outputs from the retrospectives be stored and managed?
Senior leadership determines the location of the outputs and who may access the
contents

The project team stores the outputs in a location that the project manager can control
and limit changes

The project team determines a location that is accessible for relevant stakeholders to
view and track

The project manager establishes the location and allows the customer to view and
make recommendations

Question 102 - Qid 6113155, Resource Management, 1. People, 9.0 Project

Resource Management

The resource management plan for an international project calls for a scrum team to be
colocated during the regular workweek. However, after five sprints were completed, the
project manager got a change request approved to cut costs by transitioning the team to
a virtual environment working remotely from their homes with the start of the sixth
sprint.

After the team begins working remotely, what will be the best method to understand the
impact of the change on the team's productivity?

Check the product burndown chart to look for any changes to the trendline

Calculate the CPI at the end of each sprint to determine the change in the team's
productivity

Review the product burnup chart to compare velocity before and after the change

Update the project schedule network diagram to reflect the changes in the team's
environment

Question 103 - Qid 6113157, Resource Management, 1. People, 9.1 Plan Resource
Management

As part of the Plan Resource Management process, project team members hold a
brainstorming session to charter working agreements. The team identifies 37
agreements that include communication guidelines, decision-making and conflict
resolution processes, core hours, a definition of a story point, how and when user
stories will move through the Kanban board, etc.

What should the project manager do next?

 Submit a change request to revise the resource management plan to incorporate the
team's working agreements

Verify that all of the project team members support the working agreements and
document the agreements in the project charter

Review the team's working agreements at the start of every daily standup and during
the sprint review meetings

Ask the project team members for their top five to ten agreements and document the
information in the team charter

Question 104 - Qid 6113159, Resource Management, 1. People, 9.5 Manage Team

A project manager implements the project management plan meticulously but is

struggling with leading the project team e<ectively. There is a great deal of unhealthy
tension between the project team members as well as with the project manager. The
project manager has had several outbursts during sprint retrospectives, which has
caused the meeting to be abruptly adjourned.

What should the project manager do first?

Submit a change request to revise the project management plan to eliminate the
requirement for retrospectives

Take a proactive step in improving his own emotional intelligence (EI) to become a more
e<ective leader

Reduce the story size by splitting user stories and use relative estimation with the entire
team to estimate

Lead a training session with the project team members to help them become
emotionally competent

Stakeholder Engagement

A project is six months into its nine-month projected duration. The project manager
reports that the project is at least three months behind schedule because certain key
stakeholders were resistant to consequential changes due to the project.

Question 106 - Qid 6113623, Schedule Management, 2. Process, 6.3 Sequence

Activities

Two team members are arguing over how to organize the work packages in the work
breakdown structure (WBS). One says the work packages should be arranged in the
order the work is planned to be carried out, while the other insists the order of the work
packages in the WBS does not matter. The two ask the project manager for advice.

What is the project manager's best response?

Work is decomposed and sequenced in the Define Activities process.

Any approach is good as long as the team members avoid the conflict.

The chronological order of tasks is defined in the Sequence Activities process.

The approach should be defined by the project management o<ice (PMO).

Question 115 - Qid 6151382, Cost Management, 2. Process, 7.1 Plan Cost
Management

A project manager is developing a cost management plan and needs to determine the
best source of funding for a project that is dictated by a legal requirement. The cost of
capital is estimated at 9.7% for non-dividend paying equity, 6.7% for debt, and 5.1% for
self-funding. The NPV of the project is $500,000, and the opportunity cost is $750,000.

What is the project manager's best course of action?

Fund the project with equity since there are no dividend obligations

Select the self-funding option since it provides the lowest cost of capital

Perform an alternatives analysis since there are multiple factors to consider

Recommend the termination of the project since another project has a higher NPV
