  1. A PT is tasked with closing a completed performance improvement project. Which action should occur LAST in the closing process?

    Answer: Archive project documents and update organizational assets

    Archiving project documents and updating organizational process assets is the final administrative closure step after all other closing activities.

  2. Which of the following BEST describes a work breakdown structure (WBS) in a CPT project?

    Answer: A hierarchical decomposition of total project scope into manageable work packages

    A WBS breaks the total project scope into progressively smaller, manageable components called work packages.

  3. During a needs analysis phase, the PT discovers that the identified training solution addresses only symptoms rather than the root cause. The BEST response is to:

    Answer: Conduct additional analysis and present findings to reframe the intervention

    A CPT must conduct further analysis and reframe the intervention to address root causes, even if it challenges the client's original request.

  4. A CPT estimates a task will take between 4 days (optimistic), 10 days (most likely), and 22 days (pessimistic). Using PERT, what is the expected duration?

    Answer: 11 days

    PERT formula: (O + 4M + P) / 6 = (4 + 40 + 22) / 6 = 66 / 6 = 11 days.

  5. Scope creep in a performance improvement project is BEST prevented by:

    Answer: Establishing a formal change control process and clear scope baseline

    A formal change control process and a documented scope baseline provide the governance needed to evaluate and control scope changes.

  6. A project team is in the 'storming' stage of Tuckman's model. What should the project manager PRIMARILY focus on?

    Answer: Facilitating conflict resolution and clarifying roles and norms

    During the storming stage, team members conflict over roles and approaches; the leader must facilitate resolution and establish clear norms.

  7. Which document defines the specific deliverables, boundaries, assumptions, and constraints of a CPT project?

    Answer: Project scope statement

    The project scope statement provides the detailed description of deliverables, project boundaries, constraints, and assumptions.
