The parts of the deliverables that will be checked, and when The practices and standards that will be used to measure quality The metrics that will be used to control quality " The schedule for the quality audits, including who will do them Quality metrics, the deliverables that will be checked, and the practices and standards for measuring quality are all components of a quality management plan, a key output of Plan Quality Management. Of the options presented, the schedule for quality audits is the least likely to be included in the quality management plan. Also, because such audits might be informed by another department, they might not be within scope of the project planning e!orts. CORRECT Project management offices (PMOs) can have varying levels of authority within organizations. The type of PMO with the highest level of control over project is: Authoritative Supportive Dictatorial " Directive Do you know the terms for the forms of PMO? The main types are supportive, controlling, and directive. Authoritative and dictatorial PMOs are made-up terms. This question provides the de"nition of a directive PMO. Such a PMO typically provides project managers for projects and is responsible for the results of those projects. This type of PMO exercises a high level of control over projects. https://sinergidayamitra.talentlms.com/unit/viewtestsurvey/id:14521,mode:test Page 1 of 44 Sinergi Daya Mitra | CAPM Exam Simulation, | CAPM Exam Simulation 4 25/06/24 16.52 CORRECT 1. Which components of the project management plan will be most useful as the project manager works to determine how to plan, manage, and monitor communications on the project? Quality management plan, stakeholder engagement plan Cost management plan, resource management plan Risk management plan, quality management plan " Resource management plan, stakeholder engagement plan The resource management plan and the stakeholder engagement plan are the two components of the project management plan that serve as primary inputs to the Plan Communications Management process, which is where the project manager determines, how to plan, manage, and monitor communications on the project INCORRECT What is the best method of simulating project scenarios to determine what combination of resources and interdependencies will produce the best schedule? Monte Carlo analysis Resource smoothing Parametric estimating % Resource leveling Monte Carlo analysis allows you to perform multiple simulations based on three-point estimates. INCORRECT “Reciprocal” is a term that can be used to describe which communication method? Interactive Verbal % Formal External Reciprocal communication may be formal or informal, verbal or written, external or internal to the organization. By de"nition, reciprocal conversation is interactive. CORRECT Stakeholder management is most important in which of the following processes? Manage Quality Sequence Activities Close Project or Phase https://sinergidayamitra.talentlms.com/unit/viewtestsurvey/id:14521,mode:test Page 2 of 44 Sinergi Daya Mitra | CAPM Exam Simulation, | CAPM Exam Simulation 4 25/06/24 16.52 " Collect Requirements Although stakeholder management is important throughout the project, of the choices listed it is most important in the Collect Requirements process. The Collect Requirements process includes direct interaction with stakeholders, and meeting their requirements is critical to the success of the rest of the project. CORRECT 1. Which of the following is an accurate explanation of how Identify Stakeholders fits into the project management process? It is part of organizational process assets, and an input to project initiating. It is planning process, because you need to involve stakeholders in planning. " It is an initiating process, because you need to know stakeholders' requirements before you plan. It is a planning process, but it can be skipped on many small projects. Identify Stakeholders is an essential initiating process, because you need to involve all stakeholders in the next process, planning. It is not a planning process, and it is not an input to the initiating processes. CORRECT 1. What is included in a resource management plan? Standards for selecting the best type of contract to use to acquire outside resources " When and how resources will be added to and released from the project How the project scope will be managed by the project team members The resource requirements for each work package or activity The resource management plan provides guidance related to the management of both team and physical resources. Among other things, the plan documents when and how resources will be added to and released from the project. Resource requirements for work packages and activities are an output of the Estimate Activity Resources process not Plan Resource Management. Details on how the project scope will be managed are part of the scope management plan. Information related to the type of contracts that should be used when acquiring resources from outside the organization are included in the procurement management plan. INCORRECT A project team needs to assess quality on the project. To do so, they want to measure the height of each table produced. However, that would be too expensive. In this case, it would be best to use which of the following tools or techniques? % A control chart Benchmarking A Pareto diagram Statistical sampling Statistical sampling involves measuring a small part of a larger group to assess the quality level of the entire group. https://sinergidayamitra.talentlms.com/unit/viewtestsurvey/id:14521,mode:test Page 3 of 44 Sinergi Daya Mitra | CAPM Exam Simulation, | CAPM Exam Simulation 4 25/06/24 16.52 INCORRECT For which cost management process are cost estimates an input? Estimate Costs % Control Costs Determine Budget Plan Cost Management Cost estimates are an input to the Determine Budget process. They are an output of Estimate Costs. INCORRECT You have a project with four activities as follows. Activity 1 can start immediately and has an estimated duration of 1. Activity 2 can start after activity 1 is completed and has an estimated duration of 4. Activity 3 can start after activity 2 is completed and has an estimated duration of 5. Activity 4 has an estimated duration of 8. It can start after activity 1 is completed. Both activity 3 and activity 4 must be completed before the project is complete. What is the critical path of the project? Start, 1, 4, End % Start, 1, 2, 3, 4, End Start, 1, 2, 3, End Start, 1, 4, 3, End The two paths you have in this question are Start, 1, 2, 3, End and Start, 1, 4, End. The Start, 1, 2, 3, End path would take 1 + 4 + 5 days, or 10 days to complete. The Start, 1, 4, End path would take 1 + 8 days, or 9 days to complete. To answer this type of question, carefully draw the network diagram, list all the possible paths, and then determine the duration of each path. CORRECT 1. work breakdown structure can be best thought of as an effective aid for ______ communications. The Customer " Stakeholder Project manager Team The term “stakeholder” encompasses all the other choices. In this case, it is the best answer since the WBS can be used as a communications tool for all stakeholders to see what is included in the project. INCORRECT Inputs to the Control Quality process include quality metrics, approved change requests, and: % Veri!ed deliverables Work performance information https://sinergidayamitra.talentlms.com/unit/viewtestsurvey/id:14521,mode:test Page 4 of 44 Sinergi Daya Mitra | CAPM Exam Simulation, | CAPM Exam Simulation 4 25/06/24 16.52 Work performance data Control charts Work performance data is used in Control Quality to determine if the project and its processes are in control. Although deliverables are an input to Control Quality, veri"ed deliverables are a key output of this process. Work performance information is also an output of Control Quality, while control charts are a tool used in that process. CORRECT In which scope management process would you use both expert judgment and decomposition? Validate Scope De!ne Scope Plan Scope Management " Create WBS Expert judgment and decomposition are used in the Create WBS process. CORRECT 1. Which type of hierarchical chart categorizes project work by type of resource? RACI chart " Resource breakdown structure Work breakdown structure (WBS) Organizational breakdown structure A resource breakdown structure, a tool used in the Plan Resource Management process, breaks down the work by type of resource (e.g., people, materials, equipment). It may be updated as part of Estimate Activity Resources, and it serves as an input to Control Resources. CORRECT 1. Who is ultimately accountable for quality on a project? The sponsor and senior management The project team The stakeholders " The project manager Although each team member is responsible for checking their own work, it is the project manager who has the ultimate accountability for quality on a project. INCORRECT https://sinergidayamitra.talentlms.com/unit/viewtestsurvey/id:14521,mode:test Page 5 of 44 Sinergi Daya Mitra | CAPM Exam Simulation, | CAPM Exam Simulation 4 25/06/24 16.52 1. Inputs to the Collect Requirements process include all the following except: Scope management plan % Project charter Agreements Procurement management plan Inputs to the Collect Requirements process include the project charter, agreements, and scope management plan. The procurement management plan is not an input to Collect Requirements. INCORRECT An assessment of overall risk exposure and a prioritized list of individual project risks are outputs of which process? % Perform Qualitative Risk Analysis Identify Risks Perform Quantitative Risk Analysis Plan Risk Responses An assessment of overall project risk exposure and a prioritized list of individual project risks are two of the updates made to the risk register during the Perform Quantitative Risk Analysis process. CORRECT 1. Which of the following is the best description of a project's stakeholders? The end users " Anyone who may have a positive or negative in!uence on the project The sponsor and the project team The public Project stakeholders will always include the end users as well as the sponsor and the team. And for many projects, they will also include the public. So, of the choices o!ered here, the best description is anyone who may have a positive or negative in#uence on the project. Each stakeholder can positively a!ect the project (by getting work done sooner, identifying risks, etc.) or negatively a!ect the project (though delays, scope that has to added later in the project, etc.). INCORRECT For which of the following can a work breakdown structure be used? % Showing calendar dates for each work package Showing the functional managers for each team member Showing the business case for the project Communicating with the customer https://sinergidayamitra.talentlms.com/unit/viewtestsurvey/id:14521,mode:test Page 6 of 44 Sinergi Daya Mitra | CAPM Exam Simulation, | CAPM Exam Simulation 4 25/06/24 16.52 A WBS does not show dates or responsibility assignments. The business need is described in the project charter. Using the WBS helps ensure everyone (including the customer) understands the scope of the work. CORRECT 1. Which of the following is an example of the "avoidance" risk response strategy? Escalate to the program management o"ce " Remove the activity causing the risk from the project. Assign the activity to a more experienced person to handle. Purchase insurance to cover the anticipated cost. Removing the activity that is the cause of the risk is the only choice o!ered here that relates to risk avoidance. CORRECT Which of the following is least likely to be included in a communications management plan? What needs to be communicated What language will be used for project reporting How often meetings will be held, and who should attend them " Which stakeholders' requirements will not be addressed by the project team The only one of these options that is unlikely to be addressed in a communications management plan is which stakeholders' requirements will not be addressed by the project team. That is a scope issue, not a communications issue. INCORRECT A definitive estimate is: Created during the initiating process group The most expensive to create A level of estimating that can be achieved without the team's help % Within a range of -10 percent to +25 percent of actual A great deal of work is needed to "netune a project to the point where a de"nitive estimate can be made. The range of a de"nitive estimate can be de"ned as either +/-10 percent or -5/+10 percent. CORRECT To manage a project effectively, work should be broken down into small pieces. Which of the following does not describe how far to decompose the work? " Until it can be done by one person https://sinergidayamitra.talentlms.com/unit/viewtestsurvey/id:14521,mode:test Page 7 of 44 Sinergi Daya Mitra | CAPM Exam Simulation, | CAPM Exam Simulation 4 25/06/24 16.52 Until it has a meaningful conclusion Until it can be realistically estimated Until it cannot be logically subdivided further The lowest level of the WBS is a work package, which can be completed by more than one person. The other choices are aspects of a work package. INCORRECT Work performance data is an input to which procurement management process? Conduct Procurements % Plan Procurement Management ontrol Procurements Acquire Resources Work performance data from the Direct and Manage Project Work process is an input to Control Procurements. Work performance data gives the project manager information about how the procurements are progressing so they can determine if changes to the procurements are required CORRECT 1. project team is working in an adaptive environment on a complex project that requires a lot of coordination. Under The these circumstances, the best strategy is to: Hold more meetings to get the word out. " Colocate the team. Gain extra assistance from management. Hire a contractor Colocation helps improve communication and decreases the impact of con#ict; it can be particularly useful in adaptive or agile environments and on highly complex projects. CORRECT Procurement closure is different from the Close Project or Phase process in that procurement closure: " Occurs before Close Project or Phase Includes the return of property Is the only one to involve the customer May be done more than once for each contract The customer may be involved in lessons learned and procurement audits, and would certainly be involved in formal acceptance. Both procurement closure and Close Project or Phase involve the return of property. Procurement closure https://sinergidayamitra.talentlms.com/unit/viewtestsurvey/id:14521,mode:test Page 8 of 44 Sinergi Daya Mitra | CAPM Exam Simulation, | CAPM Exam Simulation 4 25/06/24 16.52 is done once for each procurement, at the end of the contract. All procurements are closed before the project is closed. INCORRECT 1. Which of the following is not one of the rules for creating a WBS? If a deliverable isn't in the WBS, it isn't part of the project. All levels of the WBS are broken down to the same level of detail. Each level of the WBS shows a smaller piece of the level above it. % The project team helps to create the WBS These are all valid rules for creating a WBS except for "All levels of the WBS are broken down to the same level of detail." The correct rule states that some levels on the WBS will be broken down further than others. Each level is broken down to the point at which the work package can be con"dently estimated, so that it can be completed internally or outsourced without additional information. INCORRECT In a project-oriented organization, the project team: % Reports to the functional manager Reports to many managers Will not always have a "home" Has no loyalty to the project The main drawback of a project-oriented organization is that at the end of the project the team is dispersed, and the team members do not have a functional department ("home") to go back to. CORRECT Which of the following is not one of the factors of effective communication that a sender should consider when encoding a message? " E"ective listening Gestures Body language Body language Although e!ective listening is important, it is not one of the factors that need to be considered when encoding a message. The critical factors to be considered when encoding a message consist of the information conveyed by words as well as by the sender's nonverbal communication, including gestures, facial expressions, and body language. INCORRECT Which of the following is a key input to the Perform Integrated Change Control process? https://sinergidayamitra.talentlms.com/unit/viewtestsurvey/id:14521,mode:test Page 9 of 44 Sinergi Daya Mitra | CAPM Exam Simulation, | CAPM Exam Simulation 4 25/06/24 16.52 Updates to the project change log The change management plan % Approved change requests Data analysis The change management plan, a component of the project management plan, documents how change requests will be managed and is a key input to the Perform Integrated Change Control process. Approved change requests and updates to the project change log are both outputs of the Perform Integrated Change Control process. Data analysis is a technique that can be used as part of the Perform Integrated Change Control process. CORRECT Which of the following best describes when a project phase is generally concluded? When the work is done " When the deliverables are accepted When it is scheduled in the milestone schedule When the work for the next phase is ready to start Work for each phase must be inspected and accepted by the customer before the phase can be closed out. CORRECT The buyer asks the project manager for the status of the project that his team is working on. What is the best way to determine the status of a project? Compare the earned value to the planned value. " Compare the project performance against the project baselines Compare the number of people used on each work package to the planned number to be used. Compare the project performance against the integrated change control plan Project performance is compared against the project management plan and the project baselines to determine how the project is doing and to identify any needed changes. CORRECT 1. project manager is comparing measurements taken throughout the project to assess resource usage and establish The whether resource performance has improved or worsened over the course of the project. What process are they working in? " Control Resources Perform Quantitative Risk Analysis Manage Team Validate Scope https://sinergidayamitra.talentlms.com/unit/viewtestsurvey/id:14521,mode:test Page 10 of 44 Sinergi Daya Mitra | CAPM Exam Simulation, | CAPM Exam Simulation 4 25/06/24 16.52 As part of the monitoring and controlling process group, the Control Resources involves evaluating data on how the project is performing and taking action to address variances that are outside of acceptable limits. This question describes trend analysis, an important data analysis technique used in the Control Resources process. CORRECT An estimate that is -25/+75 percent of actual is an example of a ________ estimate De!nitive " Rough order of magnitude (ROM) Parametric Budget A rough order of magnitude (ROM) estimate, which is usually made during project initiating, typically has a range of -25/+75 percent of actual. INCORRECT 1. What are control charts used for? To determine if the results of a process are within acceptable limits To correlate quality variables and determine their relationships To document product defects and determine their causes % To prevent gold plating while maintaining quality standards Control charts are used to determine if the results of a process are within acceptable limits. INCORRECT 1. Which of the following would not be part of a cost management plan? Rules for measuring cost performance How the project resources will be allocated Approved estimating techniques % Change control procedures Of the options presented, the only one not included in the cost management plan is how the project resources will be allocated. INCORRECT Which of the following would not be part of a cost management plan? Rules for measuring cost performance How the project resources will be allocated https://sinergidayamitra.talentlms.com/unit/viewtestsurvey/id:14521,mode:test Page 11 of 44 Sinergi Daya Mitra | CAPM Exam Simulation, | CAPM Exam Simulation 4 25/06/24 16.52 Approved estimating techniques % Change control procedures Of the options presented, the only one not included in the cost management plan is how the project resources will be allocated. CORRECT In which process group does the closing of a procurement occur? Initiating Closing Planning " Monitoring and controlling Procurements are closed as part of Control Procurements in monitoring and controlling. CORRECT You are beginning a new project that has been attempted unsuccessfully several times in the past few years. The previous projects were cancelled because of "politics" (differing views and direction by key stakeholders on the project). This is an example of: Scope management Stakeholder analysis " Historical information Risk identi!cation Although the word "stakeholder" is used in the question, this is not an example of stakeholder analysis, nor is it an example of scope management. The situation described relates to past projects. Such information can result in the identi"cation of risks, but this is not an example of risk identi"cation. The question describes historical information, which is extremely valuable to consider when planning a project. INCORRECT Which of the following statements best explains why it is important to identify all stakeholders on the project as early as possible? Changes made later in the project are more expensive than those made earlier. % Stakeholder engagement must be documented in the stakeholder engagement plan. The project manager is responsible for encouraging stakeholder support of the project and its outcome. The stakeholder register should be continuously updated throughout the project. Although all of these statements are true, the best explanation for why is it important to identify stakeholders early in the project is that changes made later in the project are likely to be more expensive. When a stakeholder is missed, their https://sinergidayamitra.talentlms.com/unit/viewtestsurvey/id:14521,mode:test Page 12 of 44 Sinergi Daya Mitra | CAPM Exam Simulation, | CAPM Exam Simulation 4 25/06/24 16.52 requirements are likely to be missed as well. When those requirements are eventually identi"ed, any resulting change requests will likely add more cost to the project. CORRECT The project manager has chosen to allow the team members to set their own goals and make many project-related decisions. What leadership style does this represent? Servant leader " Laissez-faire Charismatic Transactional A laissez-faire leadership style is a hands-o! style. Project managers who use this style allow team members more freedom to make decisions and set goals. CORRECT All the following are characteristics of a project except: It is temporary. It has a de!nite beginning and end. It creates a unique product. " It repeats itself every month. "It repeats itself every month" implies that the whole project repeats every month. Generally, the only things that might repeat in a project are some activities. The entire project does not repeat. CORRECT Which of the following is an output of the Plan Risk Responses process? " Residual risks A prioritized list of risks Risks identi!ed Impacts identi!ed Most risks are identi"ed during the Identify Risks process (and during Monitor Risks). Prioritized risks are documented during Perform Qualitative and Quantitative Risk Analysis. Impacts are generally determined during Perform Quantitative risk analysis. Therefore, the best answer is residual risks. CORRECT While working in the Control Resources process, the project manager needs to compare actual versus planned resource usage. Which document would provide the necessary information regarding how physical resources should be utilized? https://sinergidayamitra.talentlms.com/unit/viewtestsurvey/id:14521,mode:test Page 13 of 44 Sinergi Daya Mitra | CAPM Exam Simulation, | CAPM Exam Simulation 4 25/06/24 16.52 Resource breakdown structure Lessons learned register " Resource management plan Work performance information The correct answer is C. Although the lessons learned register and the resource breakdown structure are important inputs to the Control Resource process, the resource management plan is the document the project manager should review to get information on how physical resources should be utilized. Work performance information is an output of this process rather than an input. INCORRECT Which of the following statements about the Create WBS process and the Define Activities process is true? % The key output of the Create WBS process is a list of activities that need to be completed on the project. Decomposition is used in the De!ne Activities process but not in the Create WBS process. The De!ne Activities process produces a list of activities, which are later broken down into deliverables in the Create WBS process. The Create WBS process identi#es the project deliverables, which are decomposed into activities in the De#ne Activities process. The project deliverables are identi"ed in the Create WBS process and then decomposed into activities in the De"ne Activities process. Decomposition is a technique used in both processes. CORRECT Which output of Implement Risk Responses includes changes to the planned risk response to overall project risk exposure? " Updates to the risk report Updates to the issue log Change requests Updates to the lessons learned register Although all the options listed are outputs of Implement Risks Responses, information on changes to the planned risk response to overall project risk exposure are part of the updates made to the project risk report. INCORRECT The project manager is working within the ________ sphere of influence when they interact with other project managers to fulfill physical resource requirements of the project. The industry Resource management The organization https://sinergidayamitra.talentlms.com/unit/viewtestsurvey/id:14521,mode:test Page 14 of 44 Sinergi Daya Mitra | CAPM Exam Simulation, | CAPM Exam Simulation 4 25/06/24 16.52 % The project Interacting with other project managers to meet the needs of the project for things such as physical resources, is part of the project managers work within the organization sphere of in#uence. CORRECT In response to an identified risk, the project manager meets with the team and management to develop a strategy. After discussions, they decide that it would be best to ensure that the risk happens. This is an example of which risk response strategy? Enhance " Exploit Escalate Share This risk must be an opportunity. To exploit the opportunity means to add work or change the project to make sure the opportunity occurs—whether it is at the individual or overall project risk level. INCORRECT Which of the following is a basic rule or guideline for creating a work breakdown structure? ANSWER It should be organized by functional areas. Each level of a work breakdown structure is a smaller segment of the level above. % It should list, in chronological order, every activity that needs to be done to complete the project. The !rst level of decomposition should describe the organizational structure of the project team. The WBS is not an organizational breakdown of the project team. The WBS is not listed in chronological order, nor should functional areas organize it. The WBS is hierarchical; each lower level is made of all the parts of the segment directly above it. CORRECT Define Activities, Sequence Activities, and Estimate Activity Durations occur in which knowledge area? Human resource management " Schedule management Scope management Cost management These three processes are part of the schedule management knowledge area. INCORRECT https://sinergidayamitra.talentlms.com/unit/viewtestsurvey/id:14521,mode:test Page 15 of 44 Sinergi Daya Mitra | CAPM Exam Simulation, | CAPM Exam Simulation 4 25/06/24 16.52 The strategy you have chosen for one of your stakeholders is "Involve in low-risk areas; use as goodwill ambassador." Which quadrant of your influence/interest grid is this stakeholder most likely in? Low in!uence/high interest Low in#uence/low interestUR High in#uence/low interest % High in#uence/high interest This stakeholder was most likely placed in the low in#uence/high interest category during stakeholder mapping as part of the Identify Stakeholders process. How can we tell that? First, because you are involving this person in low-risk parts of the project only. This indicates low in#uence, or you would be using the stakeholder in more important areas. Second, you also believe that they would make an e!ective goodwill ambassador, which indicates that you believe the stakeholder has high interest in the project. CORRECT 1. project manager must identify _________, determine their requirements, and then manage and influence those The requirements to ensure a successful project. Functional managers Scope " Stakeholders End users Scope does not "t into the context of the question. The best answer presented is stakeholders, because it encompasses functional managers and end users. CORRECT 1. a(n) _______, quality efforts should be planned in detail for each release or iteration rather than at the beginning of the In project. Matrix organization " Adaptive environment Predictive environment Functional organization On an adaptive project, quality e!orts are planned in detail for each release or iteration. On predictive projects, quality requirements should be de"ned early in the project—in the project scope statement and requirements documentation. Whether the organizational structure is matrix or functional (or project-oriented) does not determine when quality e!orts should be planned. CORRECT 1. What document describes the approach the team will take regarding communications and decision-making, as well as ground rules such as how team members should resolve conflict and how changes to team members' calendars will be https://sinergidayamitra.talentlms.com/unit/viewtestsurvey/id:14521,mode:test Page 16 of 44 Sinergi Daya Mitra | CAPM Exam Simulation, | CAPM Exam Simulation 4 25/06/24 16.52 approved?

CORRECT All the following are part of the Close Project or Phase process except: " Adding the #nal approved changes to the scope baseline Archiving project records Completing the lessons learned Con!rming that the !nal product of the project is acceptable The only option here that is not a key activity in the Close Project or Phase process is "adding the "nal approved changes to the scope baseline." INCORRECT All the following could be part of a communications management plan except: Strategies for engaging stakeholders Names of the stakeholders who have the ability to edit communications % Names of the stakeholders who are authorized to release con!dential informationR Individual stakeholder communication requirements Strategies for engaging stakeholders are part of the stakeholder engagement plan. The other answer options could all be included in the communications management plan. CORRECT The sponsor is excited that the product of the project is finally being produced. In which of the following must the project be involved? Develop Schedule " Project executing Integrated change control Develop Project Management Plan https://sinergidayamitra.talentlms.com/unit/viewtestsurvey/id:14521,mode:test Page 17 of 44 Sinergi Daya Mitra | CAPM Exam Simulation, | CAPM Exam Simulation 4 25/06/24 16.52 This is another question about the process of project management. Remember that every project has a product, service, or result. Some of those could be intangible. The product of the project is created in project executing. CORRECT A project's EV is $2 million, the PV is $2.5 million, and the AC is $3 million. What is the cost variance? Positive $1 million Positive $0.5 million " Negative $1 million Negative $0.5 million Since the formula for cost variance is EV - AC, the answer is $2 - $3 = -$1. The PV is not needed for this calculation. CORRECT The team is conducting a risk audit. What process are they working in? Plan Risk Responses " Monitor Risks Plan Risk Management Manage Risks Risk audits are a tool used in Monitor Risks to assess the e!ectiveness of the project's risk management processes. INCORRECT Which conflict resolution technique will generate the most lasting solution? % Directing Compromising Collaborating Collaborating Collaborating (also referred to as problem-solving) often takes more time, but it gets buy-in from everyone involved, generating a more lasting solution. CORRECT Who is normally responsible for formally reviewing major changes to the project?

INCORRECT Which of the following presents measurement results in order of frequency and helps the project team identify the root causes resulting in the most problems? Control chart Flowchart Pareto diagram % Fishbone diagram A Pareto diagram is used in Control Quality; it shows measurement results in order of frequency, which helps the team identify which root causes are resulting in the most quality problems. A #owchart shows how a process #ows from beginning to end. A "shbone diagram shows possible causes of problems but not their frequency. A control chart shows whether samples are within acceptable limits. CORRECT Which document explains why the project was selected, how it fits the organization's strategic goals, and how it will bring value to the organization? Scope management plan Strategy management plan Business management plan " Business case The primary purpose of the business case, which serves as an input to Develop Project Charter, is to explain why the project was selected, how it "ts into the organization's strategic goals, and how it will bring value to the organization. CORRECT https://sinergidayamitra.talentlms.com/unit/viewtestsurvey/id:14521,mode:test Page 19 of 44 Sinergi Daya Mitra | CAPM Exam Simulation, | CAPM Exam Simulation 4 25/06/24 16.52 During project executing, a project manager from the information systems department is trying to complete the project, but is constantly faced with interference from the manager of the engineering department who keeps changing the resources assigned to the project team and their availability. What type of matrix does this represent? Functional matrix Tight matrix Strong matrix " Weak matrix In a weak matrix, as described in the question, the functional manager has the power. In a strong matrix, the project manager has the power. There is no such thing as a functional matrix, and tight matrix means colocation. INCORRECT Which of the following best describes nonverbal communication? Communication that crosses cultural boundaries Communication that is not understood by the receiver Gestures, facial expressions, and body language % Written communication, both formal and informal Nonverbal communication includes gestures, facial expressions, and body language. A signi"cant portion of in-person communication is nonverbal. INCORRECT Which of the following best summarizes what happens during the Perform Integrated Change Control process? The change control board reviews the impact of change requests on the project scope. Change requests are evaluated and accepted, rejected, or deferred to produce a list of approved change requests.R % All requested changes are implemented, and any impacts on quality, risk, schedule, cost, resources, and customer satisfaction are documented. Change requests to the charter and project plan are implemented by the project manager, without the need for further approvals. Not all change requests are implemented; they must "rst be evaluated and are then accepted, rejected, or deferred. The project manager can only make changes to the charter and project plan without further approvals during the planning stages—before these documents are "nalized. "The change control board reviews the impact of change requests on the project scope" describes one part of the Perform Integrated Change Control process, so this answer is somewhat correct; however, integrated change control evaluates the impact of a change on all aspects of the project. Therefore, it is most correct to state that change requests are evaluated and accepted, rejected, or deferred to produce a list of approved change requests in Perform Integrated Change Control. CORRECT Which of the following statements about leadership and management is true? https://sinergidayamitra.talentlms.com/unit/viewtestsurvey/id:14521,mode:test Page 20 of 44 Sinergi Daya Mitra | CAPM Exam Simulation, | CAPM Exam Simulation 4 25/06/24 16.52 Management is focused on relationships with people, while leadership emphasizes systems and structure. " Leadership is more focused on a long-range vision, while management focuses on short-term goals. Leadership involves directing people to accomplish a task, and management is focused on collaborating, guiding, and in#uencing people. Management involves challenging the status quo; leadership is focused on handling operational issues. Leadership, which is more focused on a long-range vision, involves developing relationships with people by guiding, in#uencing, and collaborating. Leadership also often involves challenging the status quo. Management is focused on systems and structures, and on directing people to accomplish short-term goals. Management tends to be more associated with accepting rather than challenging the status quo. Understanding the distinction between leadership and management helps the project manager "nd the right balance between the two to e!ectively respond in each situation. CORRECT Which type of bid document requests a detailed proposal with information on price as well as how the work will be accomplished, who will do it, and what relevant experience the company has? Request for quotation (RFQ) Request for information (RFI) " Request for proposal (RFP) Invitation for bid (IFB) A request for proposal (RFP), also sometimes called a request for tender, includes all the elements detailed in the question. The purpose of an RFP is to buy something. An IFB is form of RFP with a very detailed statement of work that allows bidders to determine a total price to do all the work. RFQs are used to request price quotes in terms of cost per item, hour, or some other unit of measure. An RFI is used to solicit information that can help the buyer draft an RFP or an IFB. CORRECT Facets of leadership include influencing, innovating, and ________ " Doing the right things Focusing on the bottom line Focusing on operational issues Accepting the status quo Accepting the status quo and focusing on operational issues and the bottom line relate to management rather than leadership. In#uencing, innovating, and doing the right things are some of the facets of leadership, which emphasizes collaborating and in#uencing people to guide and motivate them.

Mitigating a risk means reducing either the probability of the event happening or its impact. Accepting a risk means doing nothing or creating contingency plans. Escalation means that risks are managed at the program or portfolio level, not at the project level. INCORRECT 1. When is a milestone chart used instead of a bar chart? Reporting to team members % Project planning Reporting to management Risk analysis Since bar charts (also known as Gantt charts) may show too much detail, milestone charts are more e!ective for reporting to management. A milestone chart is used instead of a bar chart for any situation in which you want to report in a less detailed way. Both types of charts are used in project planning. Team members need to see details and so they need a bar chart rather than a milestone chart. Risk analysis could make use of both charts. CORRECT 1. What is the most common source of problems on projects? Constraints Personalities " Communication Stakeholders Studies show that communication-related issues are the most common kinds of problems on projects. This makes sense, since project managers spend most of their time communicating with team members and other stakeholders. CORRECT 1.

Organizing the activities and milestones in the order in which the work will be performed Decomposing the work packages created in the WBS into the activities required to produce the work package deliverables Estimating the amount of time required to complete each activity " Identifying the type and quantity of resources that will be required for each activity Organizing the activities and milestones in the order in which the work will be performed describes the Sequence https://sinergidayamitra.talentlms.com/unit/viewtestsurvey/id:14521,mode:test Page 24 of 44 Sinergi Daya Mitra | CAPM Exam Simulation, | CAPM Exam Simulation 4 25/06/24 16.52 Activities process. Decomposing the work packages created in the WBS is done in the De"ne Activities process. Estimating the amount of time required to complete each activity is done during the Estimate Activity Durations process. All of the processes mentioned so far are part of schedule management. Identifying the type and quantity of resources that will be required for each activity describes the Estimate Activity Resources process, which is part of the resource management knowledge area. CORRECT A1.project team is subdividing project work packages into smaller, more manageable components. What is this activity called? " Decomposing Creating a WBS Network diagramming Activity sequencing The important words here are "subdividing project work packages." This indicates that a WBS has already been created, and it is being further broken down into activities. If the question said the team was subdividing "project deliverables," the answer would have been creating a WBS. Remember that decomposition is a tool used to both create and de"ne activities. CORRECT A1.project's EV is $2 million, its PV is $4 million, and its AC is $3 million. What is its SPI? 1.5 " 0.5 2 0.75 Since the formula for SPI is EV divided by PV, the answer is 2/4 = 0.5. The information about AC is not necessary to answer this question.

Which process is she engaged in? % Monitor and Control Project Work Manage Schedule Control Costs Control Schedule This project manager is conducting the performance reviews that are done in Control Schedule. https://sinergidayamitra.talentlms.com/unit/viewtestsurvey/id:14521,mode:test Page 25 of 44 Sinergi Daya Mitra | CAPM Exam Simulation, | CAPM Exam Simulation 4 25/06/24 16.52 CORRECT A1.work breakdown structure numbering system allows the project team to: Systematically estimate costs of work breakdown structure components. Provide project justi!cation. Use it in project management software. " Identify the level at which individual components are found. The numbering system allows team members to quickly identify the level in the work breakdown structure where the speci"c element is found. It also helps to locate the component in the WBS directory. CORRECT 1. What is the key purpose or goal of a status report? To predict future project performance To assess the project by integrating measures of its scope, cost, and schedule To examine the project results over time to see if performance is improving or deteriorating " To describe where the project stands in comparison to the performance measurement baseline The key purpose or goal of a status report is to describe where the project stands in comparison to the performance measurement baseline. A forecasting report predicts future performance. Integrating scope, cost and schedule in an earned value assessment provides information for a status report, but that answer is incomplete. A trend report examines project results over time. INCORRECT A project has three critical paths. Which of the following best describes how this affects the project? % It makes it easier to manage. It makes it more expensive. It requires more people. It increases the project risk. Although having three critical paths could require more people or cost more, the answer that is de"nitely and always true is that it increases project risk. There is more risk that something could happen to delay the project when the project manager has to manage three critical paths. INCORRECT The project manager is working on developing the project schedule. Which of the following is the most necessary input for this task? Completion of the Validate Scope process % Lessons learned https://sinergidayamitra.talentlms.com/unit/viewtestsurvey/id:14521,mode:test Page 26 of 44 Sinergi Daya Mitra | CAPM Exam Simulation, | CAPM Exam Simulation 4 25/06/24 16.52 Completion of the Control Schedule process D.

Validate Scope and Control Schedule occur later in the project. CORRECT What is the relationship between contingency plans and fallback plans? " Fallback plans are undertaken if the contingency plans don't work. There is no di$erence; these are two terms for the same thing. Contingency plans are undertaken if the fallback plans don't work. Contingency plans require management approval, while fallback plans can be initiated by the project manager. Fallback plans are the plans that will be undertaken if the contingency plans are not e!ective. All the other options are incorrect statements. INCORRECT Which of the following is used to allocate project costs to departments within the organization? Cost forecast Control account % Cost baseline Estimate at completion (EAC) Control accounts can be used to allocate project costs among multiple departments. This is done as part of cost aggregation, a tool and technique of Determine Budget. INCORRECT Which of the following is not an output of the Perform Integrated Change Control process? % Approved change requests Project management plan updates Project management plan updates Implemented corrective actions Corrective actions are approved or rejected in integrated change control, but implemented corrective actions are an output of the Direct and Manage Project Work process.

INCORRECT Company A is developing a project similar to one it delivered nearly 12 months earlier. Which approach should it use to define activities on the current project? Review organizational process assets. Gather the team for a brainstorming session. Add similar, if not the same, skill sets to the project team. % Hire a third-party expert to avoid mistakes that were encountered during previous projects. Brainstorming and using a third-party expert are the least bene"cial in this situation. Considering the skill sets required is important, but not a part of de"ning activities. Organizational process assets include historical information and should be considered when de"ning project activities; of particular use in de"ning activities are activity lists and information about errors and omissions on previous projects. CORRECT Which of the following statements about the project management office (PMO) is true? A directive PMO allows the project manager to control most aspects of the project. " The PMO standardizes the management of projects. A directive PMO provides project managers but is not responsible for the results of projects. A supportive PMO directly manages most projects within an organization. The PMO oversees and standardizes the management of projects within an organization. Supportive PMOs exercise a low level of control over projects; they focus on providing methodologies, templates, and lessons learned rather than on directly managing projects. A directive PMO exerts a high level of control over projects; it is responsible for the results of the projects for which it supplies project managers. CORRECT Which of the following is true about the relationship of ongoing operations to projects? Ongoing operations should have a separate phase in the project life cycle because a large portion of life cycle costs is devoted to maintenance and operations.OUR Ongoing operations should be included in the list of activities to be performed during project closure. Ongoing operations should be viewed as a separate project. https://sinergidayamitra.talentlms.com/unit/viewtestsurvey/id:14521,mode:test Page 28 of 44 Sinergi Daya Mitra | CAPM Exam Simulation, | CAPM Exam Simulation 4 25/06/24 16.52 " Ongoing operations should not be viewed as part of a project.
