  1. In Agile health IT project management, a 'sprint retrospective' is conducted to:

    Answer: Reflect on team processes and identify improvements

    The sprint retrospective focuses internally on the team's process, collaboration, and ways to improve future sprints.

  2. A critical path in a health informatics project schedule represents:

    Answer: The longest sequence of dependent tasks determining project duration

    The critical path is the longest chain of dependent activities; any delay on it directly delays the project end date.

  3. Which stakeholder engagement strategy is most appropriate when a key physician champion has high interest but low power in an EHR rollout?

    Answer: Keep informed

    Stakeholders with high interest but low power should be kept informed to maintain their engagement and advocacy without over-managing them.

  4. An informatics PM uses earned value analysis (EVA). If Planned Value (PV) = $200K and Earned Value (EV) = $150K, the Schedule Variance (SV) is:

    Answer: -$50K (behind schedule)

    SV = EV - PV = $150K - $200K = -$50K, indicating the project is behind schedule in terms of work accomplished.

  5. During an EHR implementation, end users resist the new system. The project manager should FIRST:

    Answer: Conduct a root cause analysis of the resistance

    Understanding the root cause of resistance—whether training gaps, workflow concerns, or cultural issues—guides the appropriate response strategy.

  6. In health IT projects, a 'lessons learned' session is BEST conducted:

    Answer: At regular intervals throughout the project and at closure

    Lessons learned captured throughout the project allow for real-time improvements rather than only retrospective insights at the end.

  7. A project manager must balance the triple constraint. In a fixed-budget EHR project, if scope increases unexpectedly, the PM should consider adjusting:

    Answer: Schedule, quality, or both

    The triple constraint (scope, schedule, cost) means fixing one variable forces trade-offs in the others; increasing scope with fixed cost requires schedule or quality adjustments.
