Mandatory dependencies are dependencies that are required for the project to be completed. For example, a task can only begin after a new piece of equipment has been delivered. These are very similar in this scenario. A dependency can be both internal and mandatory

   • APRINCE2
   • BScrum
   • CSAFe
   • DXP

   Show answer

   Answer: D

   Explanation

   This one is easy folks... • Two developers = pair programming • High uncertainty about existing systems = high amount of risk associated with the project • Risk of frequent requirement changes = dynamically changing user requirements • Tight deadlines = delivering the software that's needed when the customer needs it from CompTIA Project+ Study Guide, 3rd Edition Chapter 4: Planning the Project "XP involves delivering the software that's needed when the customer needs it. Consider using XP under these conditions: When there are dynamically changing user requirements. This typically happens when the customer, or end user, doesn't have a clear idea of what they need. When a high amount of risk is associated with the project. When you have small development teams of between two and 12 programmers. ... There are always two developers working in pairs at the same computer."

10. Question 80 · 384 in bank

    Because the project team lacks hands-on experience, the project manager has decided to involve a third-party vendor to complete the development of a product. Which of the following documents should the project manager expedite FIRST?

    • ARFI
    • BRFP
    • CRFQ
    • DRFB

    Show answer

    Answer: A

    Explanation

    A. RFI (Request for Information) When the project team lacks hands-on experience and the project manager decides to involve a third-party vendor, the first document to expedite would typically be an RFI (Request for Information). An RFI is used to gather information from potential vendors about their capabilities, experience, and suitability for the project. By issuing an RFI first, the project manager can gain insights into the vendor landscape, assess available options, and make informed decisions about the next steps, such as issuing an RFP (Request for Proposal) or RFQ (Request for Quotation).
