Question 481

The nature of project work is such that it inevitably causes stress. Project managers thus need to learn how to cope with and manage stress and understand what stress is and why it is created. Project managers need to note that it can be a positive experience depending on how people perceive stress and should work to mentor team members accordingly. As you strive to become more aware of stress, which one of the following is NOT considered a stress-creating factor that is related to the project environment?

A.Role ambiguity

B.Corporate politics

C.Career development

D.Selection of team members

Question 482

A project manager is managing an iterative project that delivers value incrementally. Over time, the stakeholders have challenged that the team is delivering less value now than they did at the beginning of the project. The project is still predicted to be completed as planned.
How should the project manager respond to the stakeholders?

A.Review the value delivery schedule with the project team to understand why value delivery is decreasing, implement solutions to stabilize value delivery, and communicate the corrective actions.

B.Explain to the stakeholders that value delivery is based on resources invested and the potential gain or loss reduction, and that each of these factors can vary over time.

C.Inform the stakeholders that the project prioritizes the highest business value items in the backlog first, and explain it is not unusual for the project to deliver less business value over time.

D.Explain to the stakeholders that progress is measured by the completion of project requirements that are tracked against the project schedule, and relay that the project is on schedule.

Question 483

A project manager has been assigned to lead an IT project to store information on sold lottery tickets. During the project execution, a failure in the system caused
10 numbers to be sold two times. This happened during the month of greatest demand because the prize was the highest of the year. The project team is concerned that one of those tickets could be the winner.
What should the project manager do first?

A.Inform the sponsor about the issue and make a request for sufficient funds to be made available.

B.Reassure the sponsor by explaining the probability of this risk materializing is extremely low.

C.Review the list of risks to verify that this issue was considered and execute the detailed action plan.

D.Carry out tests to verify that the system does not fail again due to the high occurrence of events.

Question 484

Which Plan Schedule Management tool or technique may involve choosing strategic options to estimate and schedule the project?

A.Facilitation techniques

B.Analytical techniques

C.Variance analysis

D.Expert judgment

Question 485

A project manager is in the middle of an agile project comprised of 100 user stories broken down into five iterations Each user story is worth USS50 The actual expenditure is US$2,000 and 50 user stories have been delivered.
Which statement is true''

A.The project is on budget and on schedule.

B.The project is over budget and behind schedule

C.The project is under budget and behind schedule.

D.The project is under budget and on schedule.

Correct Answer: D

we need to calculate the planned value (PV), earned value (EV), and actual cost (AC) of the project at the end of the second iteration. PV is the budgeted amount of work that should have been completed by a certain point in time. EV is the value of the work that has been actually completed by a certain point in time. AC is the amount of money that has been actually spent by a certain point in time. The formulas are:
PV = (Budget at Completion / Total number of user stories) × Planned number of user stories EV = (Budget at Completion / Total number of user stories) × Actual number of user stories AC = Actual expenditure The budget at completion (BAC) is the total value of all the user stories, which is 100 × $50 = $5,000. The planned number of user stories at the end of the second iteration is 40 (20 per iteration). The actual number of user stories delivered is 50. The actual expenditure is $2,000. Therefore:
PV = ($5,000 / 100) × 40 = $2,000 EV = ($5,000 / 100) × 50 = $2,500 AC = $2,000 To determine whether the project is on budget or not, we can compare the EV and the AC using the cost variance (CV) and the cost performance index (CPI). The formulas are:
CV = EV - AC CPI = EV / AC
If CV is positive or zero, the project is on budget or under budget. If CV is negative, the project is over budget.
If CPI is greater than or equal to one, the project is on budget or under budget. If CPI is less than one, the project is over budget. In this case:
CV = $2,500 - $2,000 = $500 CPI = $2,500 / $2,000 = 1.25
Both CV and CPI indicate that the project is under budget.
To determine whether the project is on schedule or not, we can compare the EV and the PV using the schedule variance (SV) and the schedule performance index (SPI). The formulas are:
SV = EV - PV SPI = EV / PV
If SV is positive or zero, the project is on schedule or ahead of schedule. If SV is negative, the project is behind schedule. If SPI is greater than or equal to one, the project is on schedule or ahead of schedule. If SPI is less than one, the project is behind schedule. In this case:
SV = $2,500 - $2,000 = $500 SPI = $2,500 / $2,000 = 1.25
Both SV and SPI indicate that the project is ahead of schedule.
Therefore, the correct statement is that the project is under budget and on schedule.
