PMP lesson 2

Your team has built a luxury yacht for a client. The project team verified every deliverable against the quality requirements, and the client accepted. Now the Project Manager is arranging for delivery. This is part of which process group?

• Closing

• Planning

You were recently appointed to manage a new store expansion project for your client, a large international retailer. Which of the following should be done first before proceeding?

• Perform a stakeholder analysis

• Prepare a detailed project Scope Statement

• Obtain Project Charter approval

• Conduct a requirements analysis

You discover that a regulatory requirement that esa addressed in the project management plan is missing from the scope statement. Failure to meet this requirement is unlikely to result in legal action. However, implementing the changes to comply with the regulation will require additional funds that could cause the project to exceed the budget and results in its cancellation. At this point, you should:

• Ignore it, this requirement is not a part of the scope baseline and risk is low

• Submit a request additional project funds to ensure compliance

• Ignore it, this is an example of unnecessary scope creep that should be avoided

• Submit a change request to incorporate the requirement in the project’s scope

You are managing a new product design project. You decide to conduct a brainstorming session, and ask the participants to vote for the most useful idea so that it can be discussed further. Which technique are you using?
