You are initiating project that has a virtual team. Half of your team members will be located in another country, where they are working for a subcontractor. The subcontractor’s team members speak a different dialect of English than your team does. After a conference call to review the project charter, two of your team members make jokes about the way your subcontractor’s team members speak. What is the BEST way to handle this situation?
- A.
Inform the subcontractor that they must adopt a non-discriminatory policy or you will be forced to terminate the contract and find a subcontractor that does not discriminate against women
- B.
Do nothing, because discrimination against women is a cultural norm in the subcontractor’s country

Update the project charter to add a requirement that teams expect cultural differences
- D.

Correct Answer
C. Update the project charter to add a requirement that teams expect cultural differencesExplanation
This option addresses the issue by acknowledging the cultural differences between team members and promotes understanding and inclusivity within the project. It is important to recognize and respect cultural diversity when working with virtual teams from different countries and backgrounds.

You are managing a construction project that is currently being initiated. You met with the sponsors, and have started to work on identifying stakeholders. You’ve documented several key stakeholders and identified their needs. Before you can finish initiating the project, your company guidelines require that you make a rough order of magnitude estimate of both time and cost, so that the sponsor can allocate the final budget. What’s the range of a rough order of magnitude (ROM) estimate?
- A.
-10% to +10%
- B.
-50% to +50%
- C.
-50% to +100%
- D.
-100% to +200%
Correct Answer
B. -50% to +50%Explanation
B- A rough order of magnitude (ROM) estimate is an estimate that is very rough. According to the PMBOK® Guide, you should expect a ROM estimate to be anywhere from half (-50%) to one and a half times (+50%) the actual result. That means that if your ROM estimate for a project is six months, then you should expect the actual project to be anywhere from three months to nine months.Rate this question:

On obtaining the project charter, the project manager of a project immediately put together the project team to execute the project. Is this correct?
- A.

- D.
No. Acquisition of the project team is primarily an Executing Process Group activity.
Correct Answer

D - No, the project team is not acquired immediately after signing of the project charter. Acquisition of a project team starts with HR planning in the Planning process group, followed by the Acquisition of the team in the Execution phase. The other answers are wrong because the Acquisition of the project team is mentioned in the wrong phase.

Correct Answer
B. Consist of nine areas that bring together processes that have things in commonExplanation
The correct answer states that the Project Management Knowledge Areas consist of nine areas that bring together processes that have things in common. This means that the knowledge areas in project management are organized based on the similarities and commonalities of the processes within each area.

- C.

- D.

Correct Answer

During this phase, the project team carries out the work defined in the plan, and progress is monitored and controlled. Project performance measurements are taken and analyzed in the Monitoring and Controlling process group, not in the Executing process group. Developing project plans and publishing them typically occur in the Planning process group.Rate this question:

- C.
Prior to beginning the Planning processes
- D.
Prior to beginning the Preliminary Scope Statement process
Correct Answer
C. Prior to beginning the Planning processesExplanation
According to the PMBOK Guide, the project manager is identified and assigned prior to beginning the Planning processes. This means that before the project team starts developing detailed project plans, the project manager is already selected and assigned to the project. This ensures that the project manager can provide leadership and guidance during the planning phase and throughout the project's execution. By assigning the project manager early on, the project team can benefit from their expertise and experience in the planning processes, leading to a more successful project outcome.Rate this question:

Correct Answer

- C.
Close Project occurs at the end of the project only.
- D.
Close Project is performed after Contract Closure.
Correct Answer
A. Close Project occurs at the end of a project phase and at the end of the project.Explanation
The correct answer is that Close Project occurs at the end of a project phase and at the end of the project. This means that Close Project is performed both when a specific phase of the project is completed and when the entire project is finished. It is important to close a project phase to ensure that all deliverables are completed and approved before moving on to the next phase. Similarly, closing the entire project ensures that all project objectives have been met and all project documentation is finalized.Rate this question:

All of the following statements are true of the project Closing processes except for which one?
- A.
Probability for success is greatest in the project Closing\ processes.
- B.
The project manager’s influence is greatest in the project Closing processes.
- C.
The stakeholders’ influence is least in the project Closing processes.
- D.
Risk is greatest in the project Closing processes.
Correct Answer
D. Risk is greatest in the project Closing processes.Explanation
The project closing processes involve finalizing all project activities and formally closing the project. During this phase, the probability for success is high because the project is nearing completion and all deliverables are being finalized. The project manager's influence is also significant during the closing processes as they oversee the completion of all project tasks and ensure that all project objectives are met. Additionally, stakeholders' influence may be minimal during this phase as their involvement may decrease as the project nears its end. However, the statement "Risk is greatest in the project Closing processes" is incorrect. The closing processes are focused on wrapping up the project and mitigating any remaining risks, so the level of risk is typically lower during this phase compared to earlier stages of the project.Rate this question:

Direct and Manage Project Execution is a process in project management that involves carrying out the project activities as planned and controlling the project work.
