PMP Practice Exam – 101

A project manager entered into a contract with a vendor to build a new system. During the acceptance test stage, the project manager noticed that the system quality was not satisfactory.

How should the project manager support their claim to the vendor?

A project manager agreed to a team member’s request to have an alternative working schedule whereby they begin working at 12:00 p.m. each day. This arrangement has worked well for the project, but has recently been scrutinized by members from other project teams because the company’s core working hours begin at 9:00 a.m.

The project sponsor reports that a key stakeholder is complaining about performance differences in the metrics reported by the project manager, which gives the impression that the project is out of control.

What should the project manager do first to address this situation?

A team has had issues with behavior on an ongoing project, which is causing conflicts. As a result, the team is losing momentum and falling behind in its sprints.
