   Show answer

   Answer: A

   Explanation

   "A" is correct for me because involves all stakeholders to the meetings and uses colocation. That ensures everyone is in line with the objectives and possible changes. "D" uses Strong CCB, whis sounds like hard or difficult. Here we are expecting changes so we should facilitate them and reach a consensus, thats why A is better

   Which statement about identification and engagement of stakeholders during a project is correct?

   • AProject stakeholders should be identified and engaged in every phase of the project to influence the success of the project directly.
   • BProject stakeholders should be identified and engaged once the prototype is completed to provide their feedback but refrain from making inputs during the project.
   • CProject stakeholders should be identified when the project charter is being completed and engaged during requirements gathering.
   • DProject stakeholders should be identified and engaged during requirements elicitation but not during the Define Scope process

   Show answer

   Answer: A

   Explanation

   The C answer says while charter is BEING developed, so the charter is still not done. When developing charter you only need to identify key stakeholders and Engagement is not done only during requirements but the whole project. So I would go to A as correct

9. Question 359 · 497 in bank

   Which of the following conditions should the project manager consider when working on the scheduling for an adaptive environment?

   • ADefining, sequencing, estimating activity durations, and developing a schedule model are so tightly linked that they are viewed as a single process.
   • BThe detailed project schedule should remain flexible throughout the project to accommodate newly gained knowledge.
   • CAn iterative scheduling and on-demand, pull-based scheduling will be required.
   • DTo address the full delivery schedule, a range of techniques may be needed and then need to be adapted.

   Show answer

   Answer: C

   Explanation

   I think again this is a tricky question because while most of you think C., where that answer I think is wrong is because in the PMBOK page 178, it does say it "generally manifests" as iterative scheduling and on-demand, pull-based scheduling. BUT the answer actually says in C. REQUIRED. It's NOT required. It's generally that. This is why C. is wrong, but 90% of you would pick C. and get it wrong. The entire point of adaptive is that it's flexible and not always following anything to a T. Keep that in mind in general with anything agile/flexible/adaptive/iterative. It's very unique to the situation and nothing is ever in stone.

10. Question 360 · 497 in bank

    Which task will a project manager undertake while conducting Project Resource Management?

    • AIdentify the different aspects of the team to manage and control physical resources efficiently
    • BProcure equipment, materials, facilities, and infrastructure for the project
    • CTrain the team members in project skill sets
    • DDefine the roles and responsibilities of each team member

    Show answer

    Answer: D

    Explanation

    In my opinion, "D" is correct. "A" cannot be correct because it is saying that the PM will identify the different aspects of the TEAM (Human Resources), to better manage the Physical Resources (Materials and equipments). Which it doesn't make sense, why would the PM need to analyze Human Resources in order to manage Physical ones. Plus, you will see in the upcoming questions (Not my first time doing this sample exam) that Roles and Responsibilities is being considered as part of Resource Management.
