  1. What is the PRIMARY purpose of a Work Breakdown Structure (WBS)?

    Answer: To decompose total project scope into smaller, manageable components

    The WBS decomposes the total scope of the project into smaller, more manageable work packages to facilitate planning and control.

  2. Stakeholder identification should FIRST occur during which process group?

    Answer: Initiating

    Stakeholder identification is part of the Initiating process group and should be done as early as possible to engage stakeholders throughout the project.

  3. Which term describes work that is included in a project but was not authorized or planned, negatively affecting the schedule and cost?

    Answer: Scope creep

    Scope creep refers to uncontrolled expansion of project scope without corresponding adjustments to time, cost, and resources.

  4. A CAPM candidate reads that a project has a Cost Performance Index (CPI) of 0.85. What does this mean?

    Answer: The project is getting $0.85 worth of work for every $1.00 spent

    A CPI of 0.85 means the project is only receiving $0.85 worth of value for each $1.00 spent, indicating a cost overrun.

  5. Which of the following BEST describes progressive elaboration in project management?

    Answer: Continuously improving and detailing a project plan as more information becomes available

    Progressive elaboration means that planning is done in increasing detail as more information and greater accuracy becomes available throughout the project.

  6. A project manager is selecting between two risk response strategies. One eliminates the threat entirely; the other reduces its probability. Which terms match these strategies?

    Answer: Avoid and Mitigate

    Avoid eliminates the threat entirely by changing the plan, while Mitigate reduces the probability or impact of the risk to an acceptable level.

  7. The project management plan differs from project documents in that the project management plan:

    Answer: Is a single, approved document that guides project execution and control

    The project management plan is the approved, integrated document that describes how the project will be executed, monitored, and controlled.
