  4. Analyze the benefits management plan and implement the needed change

Question No:-33

A project manager is evaluating a project and realizes that its earned value (EV) shows the cost spent is higher than the value delivered. The project manager then discovers that the team has been adding small features that are not part of the requirements.

What should the project manager do?

  1. Request additional budget because additional features are being added
  2. Ask the product owner to add the additional features to the requirements
  3. Encourage the team to continue, as this will eventually help the customer
  4. Ask the team to focus on and deliver only the agreed-upon features

  3. Update the project plan because the law is an obligation for the project
  4. Assess and prioritize the impact of the new law on the project plan

Question No:-35

A controller proposed a budget reduction for projects because the majority of implemented solutions resulted in little returns on investment (ROI) or operational improvements. The project manager objected and presented project assets showing all solutions having been demonstrated, accepted, and delivered within the relevant framework constraints. The project manager suggested that the issues may stem from the project evaluation and selection processes.

What was the project manager demonstrating?

  1. Multiple stages of development that members may go through toward working formations
  2. Cause-and-effect identification in root cause analysis toward achieving project value
  3. Strategic negotiation techniques in determining budget priorities in future sessions

  4. Bring in a senior colleague who is also an expert to ensure the team is on track to achieve the goals and objectives.

A project manager wants to assign a junior engineer to a new project. In past projects, the engineer showed initiative to take on complex tasks and solve problems in innovative ways without any need for encouragement. However, the engineer declines the project manager's invitation to join the new project.

What is the most likely reason for the engineer's refusal to work on the project?

  4. The project manager did not sufficiently support and recognize the engineer's professional growth

  4. Discuss the vacation plan and include scheduling changes in the change log database
