Read the first 7 Project Planning & Execution flashcards as text

  1. During project execution, a team member consistently delivers work that does not meet quality standards. What should the project manager do FIRST?

    Answer: Identify the root cause and provide coaching or training

    Identifying the root cause and providing coaching addresses the underlying issue and supports the team member before escalating.

  2. A project manager is performing Estimate at Completion (EAC) using actual performance to date. Which formula assumes future work will proceed at the current CPI?

    Answer: EAC = BAC / CPI

    EAC = BAC / CPI is the formula used when future work is expected to continue at the same cost efficiency as to date.

  3. Which scheduling method uses a network diagram where all activities are represented as nodes and arrows show dependencies?

    Answer: Precedence Diagramming Method (PDM)

    PDM (also called Activity on Node) represents activities as boxes/nodes with arrows showing the logical relationships between them.

  4. A project manager learns that a key vendor will be two weeks late delivering a component. This was identified as a risk. What type of response is being activated?

    Answer: Contingency plan

    A contingency plan is a pre-planned response that is activated when a risk trigger or threshold is reached.

  5. Which conflict resolution technique results in a win-lose outcome and is generally the LEAST effective for long-term relationships?

    Answer: Force/direct

    Forcing uses power to override others' concerns, producing a win-lose outcome that can damage team relationships over time.

  6. A project is nearing completion and the sponsor asks for a new feature not in the original scope. What is the CORRECT response?

    Answer: Log the request and route it through the change control process

    All scope additions must be evaluated through the formal change control process to assess impact on cost, schedule, and quality.

  7. When performing Qualitative Risk Analysis, the primary purpose is to:

    Answer: Prioritize risks based on probability and impact

    Qualitative Risk Analysis prioritizes identified risks by assessing their probability and impact so the team can focus on the most significant threats and opportunities.
