The 6 sample questions as a list
  1. On a predictive project, a senior engineer who normally delivers on time has handed in two work packages late and has gone quiet in meetings. What should the project manager do FIRST?

    A) Meet the engineer privately to learn what is behind the change
    B) Raise the late deliveries at the next team meeting for discussion
    C) Report the late work packages to the engineer's functional manager
    D) Reassign the engineer's remaining work packages to a colleague
    A) Meet the engineer privately to learn what is behind the change

    A private conversation finds out whether workload, unclear priorities or a personal issue is the cause before anything else is decided. Escalating or reassigning work skips that step and can damage trust.

  2. Two weeks after a hybrid team forms, members are openly disputing who owns code reviews and how work should be handed off, and meetings have become tense. What should the project manager do NEXT?

    A) Stay out of it and let the disagreements settle on their own
    B) Facilitate a session where the team agrees roles and working norms
    C) Ask the sponsor to replace the members who disagree the most
    D) Write the roles and hand-off rules and tell the team to follow them
    B) Facilitate a session where the team agrees roles and working norms

    The team is in the storming stage, where the project manager coaches and facilitates so the team clarifies roles and agrees norms it owns, often in its team charter. Imposing rules suppresses the conflict instead of resolving it.

  3. On a predictive project, a key customer asks the project manager to add a new interface to another system and says it should be a quick job. What should the project manager do FIRST?

    A) Add the interface because the customer is the one asking for it
    B) Reject the request because the scope baseline is already approved
    C) Ask the team to estimate the work during their spare time
    D) Analyse the request's impact on scope, schedule, cost and quality
    D) Analyse the request's impact on scope, schedule, cost and quality

    The change control process starts by assessing the impact and identifying options, then submitting a change request to the change authority for a decision. Rejecting outright ignores a legitimate request, and adding it directly is scope creep.
    Process › Integration and Change Control
  4. The project is behind schedule, and the sponsor proposes postponing a legally required data-privacy assessment until after launch. What should the project manager do?

    A) Keep the assessment and find other ways to recover the schedule
    B) Run a shorter, informal version of the assessment instead
    C) Let the team vote on whether the assessment can be skipped this time
    D) Postpone the assessment as the sponsor has proposed
    A) Keep the assessment and find other ways to recover the schedule

    Compliance requirements are not negotiable, so the project manager keeps the assessment, looks for other recovery options and is honest about the schedule impact.
    Business Environment › Compliance
  5. A company is building a mobile app for a new market. Requirements are unclear, and target customers are available to give feedback every two weeks. Which approach fits best?

    A) A predictive approach with a change freeze after design approval
    B) An agile approach that delivers small increments for feedback
    C) A single release at the end, after all features are complete
    D) A predictive approach with detailed requirements fixed up front
    B) An agile approach that delivers small increments for feedback

    Uncertain requirements, work that can be delivered in small usable pieces, and customers available for frequent feedback all point to an agile approach. Fixing requirements early would lock in guesses.
    Agile and Hybrid › Choosing an Approach
  6. During vendor selection, one of the bidders offers the project manager expensive concert tickets. What should the project manager do?

    A) Accept the tickets once the contract has been awarded
    B) Accept the tickets but score that bidder strictly on merit
    C) Accept the tickets and share them with the evaluation team
    D) Decline the tickets and follow the organization's gift policy
    D) Decline the tickets and follow the organization's gift policy

    Accepting gifts from a bidder compromises fairness in awarding the contract, however the bids are then scored. The project manager declines and discloses the offer if policy requires.
    Professional Ethics
