  1. Agile project management differs from traditional waterfall in digital imaging projects primarily because Agile:

    Answer: Delivers working increments iteratively with frequent stakeholder feedback

    Agile delivers value in short iterations (sprints) and continuously incorporates stakeholder feedback rather than following a rigid sequential plan.

  2. A project manager is creating a communication plan for a multi-vendor digital imaging rollout. Which factor most directly determines the complexity of communications management?

    Answer: Number of stakeholders

    The number of communication channels grows with the number of stakeholders, calculated as n(n-1)/2.

  3. During procurement planning for imaging equipment, a fixed-price contract is most appropriate when:

    Answer: Scope is well-defined and stable

    Fixed-price contracts transfer cost risk to the vendor and work best when scope is clearly defined upfront.

  4. A project manager uses a probability and impact matrix during risk planning for a diagnostic imaging deployment. Its primary purpose is to:

    Answer: Prioritize risks based on likelihood and potential effect

    The probability-impact matrix helps teams rank risks so high-priority ones receive attention and resources first.

  5. A scope baseline in a digital imaging project consists of which three components?

    Answer: WBS, WBS dictionary, and project scope statement

    The scope baseline comprises the approved scope statement, WBS, and WBS dictionary used to measure scope performance.

  6. When managing a digital imaging project, a project manager observes that team velocity has dropped during the last two sprints. The best immediate action is to:

    Answer: Hold a retrospective to identify and address impediments

    Retrospectives are the Agile mechanism for inspecting and adapting team performance and removing impediments.

  7. Earned Value Management (EVM) integrates which three project dimensions?

    Answer: Scope, schedule, and cost

    EVM measures project performance by integrating scope accomplished, time elapsed, and costs incurred.
