Chapter 1-3 PMBOK 5th edition - Test #1.
All Questions and answers. With
rationales. 100% verified.
A product feasibility study was conducted for a new sewing machine. Which of the following is least
likely to be true?
A The organization treated the feasibility study as routine pre-project work.
B The organization did a cost-benefit analysis without a SWOT analysis.
C The feasibility study was run like a stand-alone project.
D The organization handled the feasibility study as the first phase of the project. - ✔✔Choices A, C and D
are all options for structuring feasibility studies. Organizations may treat feasibility studies as routine
pre-project work, as the first phase of the project, or like a stand-alone project based on the needs of
the individual project. PMBOK® 2.4.2, pg 42
Which project group comprises the largest number of active participants?
A Project stakeholders
B Project management team
C Project team
D Project sponsor - ✔✔Choices B, C and D are each a subset of project stakeholders (Choice A).
Therefore, project stakeholders is the largest group as it includes all stakeholders internal and external
to the organization, as well as the entire project team. In addition, you will mange the project so well
that your stakeholders will indeed be active participants. PMBOK® 2.2.1, pgs 30-31
What is NOT true of project life cycle phases?
A They are generally sequential
,B They cannot overlap
C They define what deliverables are produced
D They involve handoffs to other phases - ✔✔Project phases typically are completed sequentially, but
CAN overlap in some project situations; therefore, Choice B is the correct answer because it is false.
PMBOK® 2.4.2, pg 41
A collection of projects or programs and other work that are grouped together is a definition of:
A A program.
B A project.
C A portfolio.
D A strategy. - ✔✔A portfolio refers to projects, programs, subportfolios, and operations managed as a
group to achieve strategic objectives. PMBOK® 1.4.2, pg 9
Shonari's work area assembled hundreds of circuit boards according to weekly plans and schedules.
Next month, the assembly area will be closed down since the boards will be discontinued. As she thinks
about preparing for the shutdown, she determines that her project is moving into the closing phase. Is
Shonari correct?
A No, because her team will be producing circuit boards up until the final day.
B Yes, because she is now planning the closing of her area.
C Yes, because the plans and schedules will be ending next month.
D No, because assembling circuit boards is an on-going work activity. Closing down the assembly area is
a project in and of itself. - ✔✔The correct answer is Choice D. Making the boards was operational work,
not project work. Shonari doesn't have a project yet, but she needs to develop one for the closing of the
assembly area. Ongoing operations are outside of the scope of a project; however, there are
intersecting points where the two areas cross. One such point is at the end of a product lifecycle, in this
case, the boards. PMBOK® 1.5.1, pgs 12-13
What is the term for people actively involved in the project, or whose interests may be affected as a
result of project execution or project completion?
A Impacted
, B Team members
C Environmentalists
D Stakeholders - ✔✔Stakeholders (Choice D) include all members of the project team as well as all
interested entities that are internal or external to the organization. The project team identifies internal
and external, positive and negative, and performing and advising stakeholders in order to determine the
project requirements and the expectations of all parties. PMBOK® 2.2.1, 30
What type of organizational structure has both departmental and cross-functional projects?
A Composite matrix
B Strong matrix
C Weak matrix
D Balanced matrix - ✔✔A composite organization (Choice A) involves all types of organizational
structures at various levels. PMBOK® 2.1.3, pg 25
Which of the following is an organizational process asset category?
A Internal
B Corporate knowledge base
C Lessons learned
D PMBOK® Guide base - ✔✔Choice A isn't one of the two categories, and Choice D is not a PMBOK®
term. Choice C, lessons learned, is an organizational process asset (OPA), but the question is asking
about categories of OPAs, not about OPAs themselves. Choice B is the correct answer. Organizational
process assets may be grouped into two categories: 1) processes and procedures, and 2) corporate
knowledge base. PMBOK® 2.1.4, pgs 27-28
