The WBS and WBS dictionary have been completed, and the project team has begun working on
identifying risks. The sponsor contacts the project manager, requesting that the responsibility
assignment matrix be issued. The project has a budget of $100,000 and is taking place in three countries
using 14 human resources. There is little risk expected for the project, and the project manager has
managed many projects similar to this one. What is the next thing to do?
A. Understand the experience of the sponsor on similar projects.
B. Create an activity list.
C. Make sure the project scope is defined.
D. Complete risk management and issue the responsibility assignment matrix.
Answer B
Explanation Look at the order of planning the project that the team has chosen. Although
understanding the experience of the sponsor might sound like a good idea, the sponsor is a stakeholder,
and understanding the stakeholders is part of stakeholder analysis. That should have occurred before
the creation of a WBS. Project scope must be defined before a WBS can be created. Completing risk
management and issuing the responsibility assignment matrix cannot be best, as that work does
not come next in the process. Other work must be done before risk management can effectively be
completed. Creating an activity list comes next after the WBS and WBS dictionary.
66
Which project management process group uses and shares project knowledge?
Executing
67
Which project management process manages, evaluates, and closes procurements?
Monitoring & Controlling
68
A project manager does not have much time to spend on planning before the mandatory start date
arrives. He therefore wants to move through planning as effectively as possible. What advice would
you offer?
A. Make sure you have a signed project charter and then start the WBS.
B. Create an activity list before creating a network diagram.
C. Document all the known risks before you document the high-level assumptions.
D. Finalize the quality management plan before you determine quality metrics.
Answer B
Explanation This question is asking which of the choices is the most effective way to move through
project planning. Starting the WBS immediately after obtaining a project charter skips the important
steps of defining the scope and other activities. High-level assumptions are determined in project
initiating. Qyality metrics are determined as part of the quality management plan, not after it. The
activity list is created before the network diagram, so that is the best option.
69
Which process ensures information is being communicated to the appropriate people in the right way and at the right time?
Monitor Communications
70
Which project management process group sends and receives information, and solicits feedback?
Executing
71

94
The project team has just completed the initial project schedule and budget. The next thing to do is to:
A. Identify risks.
B. Begin iterations.
C. Determine communications requirements.
D. Create a bar (Gantt) chart.
Answer C
Explanation Communications requirements and quality standards are needed before risks ( especially
risks related to communications and quality) can be determined. Iterations cannot begin until the
risks are identified, qualified, and quantified, and the responses are developed. Through iterations, the
WBS and other parts of the project management plan are revised. A bar chart would have been done
during the creation of the schedule, so it cannot be the next thing. Of the choices listed, determine
communications requirements is the best option.
95
The complete concept is built in successive levels of detail to create the end result.
With an iterative development life cycle
Planning for the first iteration would focus on planning to create a prototype of the entire website. After the basic skeleton of the site is built, each successive iteration would be planned to add more detail until a complete and fully functioning site is achieved.

A. Company processes
B. Company culture
C. Historical WBSs
D. Project scope statement
Answer D
Explanation Notice the question asks which is not an input to project initiating. Did you read it
correctly? Companies should have processes in place for hiring resources, reporting, and managing
risks on projects (to name only a few). These are inputs to project initiating, as are company culture
and historical WBSs. The project scope statement is an output of project planning.
104

An adaptive life cycle approach.
109
Which of the following is the most appropriate thing to do during the initiating process group?
A. Create a detailed description of the project deliverables.
B. Get familiar with the company culture and structure as they relate to the project.
C. Identify the root cause of problems.
D. Ensure all project management processes are complete.
Answer B
Explanation A detailed description of the project deliverables is created during project planning, as
part of creating the project scope statement. Root cause analysis occurs during project monitoring
and controlling, not initiating. Ensuring all project management processes are complete occurs during
project closing. It is important for a project manager to become familiar with the company culture and
structure as they relate to the project as early in the project as possible. This is the most appropriate
choice to do in project initiating.
110
Requires evaluating hard data on how the project is conforming to the plan and taking action to address variances that are outside of acceptable limits-by recommending changes to the way the work is being done, or possibly adjusting baselines to reflect more achievable outcomes.
