A _______________ include(s) fire, theft, or injury, and offer(s) no chance for gain.

• Business risks

• Pure risks

• Risk acceptance

• Life risks

A risk trigger is also called which of the following?

• A warning sign

• A delay

• A cost increase

• An incremental advancement of risk

A team member has been late to several recent team meetings, and the last two deliverables he submitted were not acceptable. The project manager decides he can no longer wait for things to improve and must address the issue with the team member. What is the best form of communication for addressing this problem?

• Formal written communication

• Formal verbal communication

• Informal written communication

• Informal verbal communication

A project manager overhears a conversation between two stakeholders who are discussing how unhappy they are with the impacts of the project on their own departments. Stakeholder A asks if the project is on time, and stakeholder B replies that the SPI is 1.05. Stakeholder A asks if the project manager for the project knows of stakeholder B's concern. Stakeholder B responds that he is not sure. What is the best thing for the project manager to do?

• Make sure the stakeholders are aware that the project manager overheard. Then ask them to direct any questions to the project manager in writing.

• Make a presentation to all the stakeholders regarding the status of the project.

• Send both stakeholders a copy of the issue log, and ask for additional comments.

• Arrange a meeting with both stakeholders to allow them to voice any concerns they may have.

When managing a change-driven project, how do you ideally want any coding errors to be identified and corrected?

• The QA team finds the errors during alpha testing.

• The developers find the errors in automated unit testing.

• The customer finds the errors when reviewing the product increment.

• The users find the errors on the first day of release.

Standard deviation is a measure of:

• How far the estimate is from the highest estimate

• How far the measurement is from the mean

• How correct the sample is

• How much time remains in the project

A control chart shows seven data points in a row on one side of the mean. What should the project manager do?

• Perform a design of experiments.

• Adjust the chart to reflect the new mean.

• Find an assignable cause.

• Nothing. This is the rule of seven and can be ignored.

There are several executing activities underway on your project. You are beginning to get concerned about the accuracy of the progress reporting your team members are doing. How could you verify whether there is a problem?

• Perform a quality audit.

• Create risk quantification reports.

• Perform regression analysis.

• Perform Monte Carlo analysis.

At various points during project execution, the project manager reviews the project charter. Which of the following best describes what a project charter may be used for when the work is being completed?

• To make sure all the team members are rewarded

• To help determine if a scope change should be approved

• To assess the effectiveness of the change control system

• To make sure that all the documentation on the project is completed

To help them determine the schedule baseline, the team has drafted a network diagram. The project manager adds the time estimates for each activity to establish a critical path for the project. They discover the project has three critical paths. Which of the following best describes how this discovery will affect the project?

• It makes it easier to manage.

• It increases the project risk.

• It requires more people.

• It makes it more expensive.
