Start Business Environment: strategy and project benefits PracticeOrder the steps for developing a project schedule.
Explanation: Schedule development involves defining activities, then sequencing them (including applying leads and lags), then estimating their durations, and finally determining the critical path as part of developing the overall schedule.
A project manager is implementing a project in a highly regulated industry. A new regulatory requirement is discovered that will affect the project's deliverables. The project is already in execution. What should the project manager do first?
Explanation: The correct first step is to assess the impact of the new regulatory requirement on the project's scope, schedule, cost, and quality. This aligns with the PMBOK® Guide's process of performing integrated change control. After assessing the impact, the project manager should submit a change request if a change is needed. Option A is reactive and may not be necessary without understanding the impact. Option B bypasses the formal change control process. Option C avoids addressing the requirement in the current project, which could lead to non-compliance. Therefore, D is the appropriate initial action.
A project manager is overseeing a large-scale agile transformation in a traditional organization. The executive sponsor asks the PM to create a detailed project plan for the entire transformation, including Gantt charts. What should the PM do?
Explanation: A hybrid approach balances the sponsor's need for visibility with agile's iterative nature. High-level milestones provide structure while iterative planning allows for adaptation. Option D, while acknowledging uncertainty, may be seen as dismissive and less actionable than A. Option B is too rigid, and option C fails to address the need for flexibility in an agile transformation.
A project manager is leading a project that has a change request that would affect the critical path. The change request has been approved. Which TWO actions should the PM take next?
Explanation: After a change request is approved, the project manager must update the project management plan to reflect the change (C) and communicate the change to relevant stakeholders (E). Option B is incorrect because the change should not be implemented immediately without updating the plan first. Option A is not a direct next step; lessons learned are updated later. Option D is incomplete because only updating the change log is insufficient; the plan must also be updated.
A project manager is managing a project that is part of a program. The program manager asks the PM to provide benefits realization metrics. The project is currently in execution. Which THREE documents should the PM consult to determine the appropriate metrics?
Explanation: The business case (A) defines the expected benefits and strategic alignment. The benefits management plan (D) outlines how and when benefits will be measured. The project charter (E) includes high-level benefits and project objectives. The risk register (B) focuses on risks, not benefits metrics. The project schedule (C) shows timeline, not benefit measurement criteria.
