PMI Scheduling Professional Exam Practice Test

Answer : B

The project's Communications Management Plan defines what information will be distributed, when

it will be distributed, to whom it will be

distributed, and the modality of the information.

Answer option D is incorrect. The Schedule Management Plan defines the project work, when the

project work will happen, resource

utilization, and how the schedule will be monitored and controlled.

Answer option C is incorrect. There is a stakeholder management strategy, but not a Stakeholder

Management Plan.

Answer option A is incorrect. The project's Scope Management Plan defines how the scope will be

created, how the changes will be allowed,

Answer : A

Risk activities are not part of the schedule data. Risk is documented in the risk register,

and monitored and controlled throughout the project.

In some instances, risk may be part of the activity attributes. The schedule data includes the

schedule milestones, schedule activities, activity

attributes, and the assumptions and constraints.

The schedule data includes the schedule activities, schedule milestones, activity attributes, and

documentation of all known assumptions and

constraints. The sum of additional data varies by application area. The schedule data commonly

supplied as supporting details includes:

Resource requirement by time period, frequently in the category of histogram

Alternative schedules, such as best case or worst case, or resource leveled, with or without imposed

dates

Scheduling of contingency reserves

Answer option D is incorrect. Schedule milestones are part of the schedule data.

a

Answer option B is incorrect. Schedule activities are part of the schedule data.

Answer option C is incorrect. Activity attributes are part of the schedule data.

Answer : D

Hard logic, also known as mandatory dependencies, describes activities that must be

completed in a particular order.

Hard logic is a binding connection between activities. It is also known as mandatory dependency or

hard dependency. Hard logic requires

activities to take place in a specific order according to the nature of work. It is a well-built connection

where an activity cannot start until and

unless a previous one is completed. There are also substantial hard logic connections where soft

logic does not usually apply. Several

activities rely on hard logic for the successful completion of the project.

Answer options B, A, and C are incorrect. These are not a valid description of hard logic.

Answer : A

The project's scope baseline is not derived or provided by the project's activity list. The

scope baseline is made of the project's WBS, WBS

Dictionary, and the Project Scope Statement. The activity list provides for estimating, scheduling,

executing, and monitoring and controlling the

project work.

The scope baseline is an element of the project management plan. The contents of the scope

baseline include the following:

Project scope statement: It includes the product scope description and the project deliverables, and

defines the product user

acceptance criteria.

WBS: It defines each deliverable and the decomposition of the deliverables into work packages.

WBS dictionary: It contains the detailed description of work and technical documentation for each

WBS element.

Answer option D is incorrect. Estimates do provide a basis for creating time and cost estimates.

Answer option B is incorrect. Activities are executed in the project.

Answer option C is incorrect. Activities are scheduled as part of project planning.

Answer : A, B, D

The judgmental forecasting method incorporates intuitive judgments, opinions and

subjective probability estimates. Some examples of

judgmental forecasting are as follows:

Composite forecasts

Surveys

Delphi method

Scenario building

Technology forecasting

Forecast by analogy

Answer option C is incorrect. Autoregressive moving average is an example of the

causal/econometric method.

Answer : B

Your schedule variance is -$33,750. You can find this by using the formula earned value-

minus planned.

Answer option C is incorrect. Cost is not the largest variance in the project.

Answer option A is incorrect. Cost is not the largest variance in the project (it is -$8,000).

Answer option D is incorrect. -$20,000 is the variance at completion for the project.

Answer : D

This is an example of corrective action. The project team will fix the mistake and they

have learned from their mistake so it won't happen again.

Answer option C is incorrect. Risk mitigation is defined as monies spent or actions taken to reduce

the probability and impact of an identified

risk event.

Answer option A is incorrect. A risk response is an action to counteract an identified risk.

Answer option B is incorrect. There may be some team development happening in this instance but

we don't have enough information to know

for certain. Team development is an activity that brings the whole team cohesion, interdependency,

and trust.
