When building a team, a project manager may encounter conflicts among team members, especially when the personalities and behaviors are very different for each member. This usually occurs at which stage of the Tuckman Ladder (TL) and the Drexler/Sibbet (DS) models?

• Storming (TL); Trust building (DS)
• Forming (TL); Orientation (DS)
• Forming (TL); Trust building (DS)
• Storming (TL); Orientation (DS)

You have identified the activities necessary to complete your project's deliverables and have constructed a network diagram using PDM. You are estimating durations for your project's activities. The estimated duration of each activity would be MOST likely affected by:

• the resource assigned to the activity
• the time at which the activity must occur during the project
• the structure of the organization
• the predecessor activities identified in the network diagram

You have identified key stakeholders for a project and plan to involve them in project activities throughout the project life cycle. How will this benefit you? (Choose all that apply.)

• Getting early approvals on changes

• Gaining better understanding of their requirements

• Enhancing the quality of the product

• Reducing the size of the team

According to the PMBOK® Guide, which option is NOT a tool or technique used to collect the project requirements from stakeholders?

• decomposition
• prototypes
• observations
• interviews

Management has recently expanded its production of KN95 masks using raw material suppliers from China, Korea, and Taiwan. However, due to an unexpected surge in COVID cases in Korea and Taiwan as well as new regulations imposed on importation of goods, there was a limitation set on the supply of raw materials. This resulted in not being able to produce enough goods to meet the growing customer demand. As a result, management decided to enter into an agreement with another supplier to purchase raw materials at a higher cost. This has led to a sales price increase on the KN95 masks. What type of negotiation strategy was used in this scenario regarding the KN95 price increase?

• Hard
• Lose-lose
• Principled
• Soft

When managing projects, why do agile teams engage stakeholders directly?

• To reduce project risks and discover misalignments immediately
• To discourage discussion of highly technical topics in team meetings
• To avoid upper management politics in decision-making
• To reduce unhelpful discussions and standardize feedback mechanisms

After Sam performed the cost benefit analysis of a proposed project by including all of the monetary costs, such as expenses for start-up fees, licenses, production materials, payroll, user acceptance processes, training, and travel, he found a positive result. Based on this result, the project was initiated and assigned to him. However, later in the project, Sam had to invest a huge amount of the project budget in risk responses. Consequently, the project faced a funding problem. Which approach could Sam have used to avoid this situation?

• Sam should have included the cost of potential risks while performing cost benefit analysis.
• Sam should have demanded twice the estimated cost for project budget.
• Sam should not have implemented the risk responses.
• Sam should have removed project resources to keep the project budget on track.

During project execution, you identify a risk that was not anticipated during risk planning. Which task will you need to perform to control this risk?

• additional risk response planning
• assessment of the impact of the risk
• risk quantification
• categorization of the risk

Which statement best describes the risk register?

• It is a comprehensive array of documentation and analysis of a project's risk.
• It is a commercial database that contains an industry-standard analysis of risk.
• It is a central document that team members can use to describe risks.
• It is a list of risks with the most impact and highest probability.
