   Show answer

   Answer: C

   Explanation

   CompTIA Project + PK0-005 Cert Guide 2nd Edition Real-Time Surveys/Polling Real-time surveys/polling should be used in meetings when a project manager needs to get opinions on a matter and protect against group think. While a group discussion may be the best way to get the ideas, deciding on which idea is best requires that you get everyone’s honest opinion. Depending on the size of the project team and the relationships between the team members, you need to use a tool that provides anonymity. Real-time surveys/polling also provides immediate tabulation of votes, meaning a ranking of the ideas is provided quickly so that the team can focus on a few most promising ideas rather than all of them.

9. Question 49 · 384 in bank

   To gather requirements from stakeholders, the project manager sits down with them and allows them to discuss freely. Which of following techniques is the project manager utilizing?

   • AProcess modeling
   • BBrainstorming
   • CInterview
   • DFocus group

   Show answer

   Answer: C

   Explanation

   Another poorly worded complete garbage question. "...the project manager sits down with them..." All at the same time? Or one on one? There is a difference, and it matters. The term "them" leads the reader to perceive that it is a group setting. These question creators need to clearly understand and more effectively translate to the target language. For my answer (C: Interview), I assume each stakeholder is engaged on an individual basis. BUT if it's a group setting, it very well could be a brainstorm or focus group. Good luck out there, folks.
