Read the first 7 Project Compliance and Governance flashcards as text

  1. A project manager notices that a team member is bypassing the change control process to avoid delays. What is the MOST appropriate response?

    Answer: Coach the team member on governance requirements and reinforce the change control process

    The project manager should educate the team member on why change control governance exists and ensure future compliance with the established process.

  2. Which PMBOK knowledge area MOST directly encompasses governance of project changes, baselines, and corrective actions?

    Answer: Project Integration Management

    Project Integration Management encompasses integrated change control, baseline management, and coordinating corrective actions across the entire project.

  3. A project governance review finds that lessons learned have not been documented. What is the RISK of this non-compliance?

    Answer: Future projects cannot benefit from this project's experience, reducing organizational learning

    Failing to document lessons learned means the organization loses valuable knowledge that could improve future project governance and performance.

  4. A project manager is asked to sign off on a deliverable that does not fully meet compliance standards in order to meet the deadline. What should the project manager do?

    Answer: Refuse to sign off and document the non-compliance as an issue requiring resolution

    The project manager must not approve a non-compliant deliverable; the issue should be formally documented and resolved through proper channels.

  5. Which metric is MOST useful for monitoring a project's ongoing compliance with scope governance?

    Answer: Number of approved versus rejected change requests

    Tracking the ratio of approved versus rejected change requests shows how well the project is controlling scope and adhering to its governance process.

  6. In PMBOK, what distinguishes a governance risk from a project execution risk?

    Answer: Governance risks involve failures in oversight, decision-making authority, or compliance with policies

    Governance risks specifically relate to breakdowns in oversight structures, decision authority, accountability, or policy compliance, rather than technical execution failures.

  7. A project manager is implementing a new software system for a healthcare client. Which type of compliance is MOST critical to address in the project's governance plan?

    Answer: HIPAA regulations protecting patient health information

    Healthcare software projects in the US must comply with HIPAA regulations governing the privacy and security of protected health information.
