Question 11: Customer has Verified Project Completion – The project is nearing completion, testing is done, and deliverables meet specifications. The question asks what should be done next in the process before finalizing the project.

Question 12: Cost of Quality – The project sponsor emphasizes the importance of delivering a defect-free product. The question focuses on what steps should be taken to prevent defects from occurring during the project.

Question 13: Stakeholder Requests Additional Scope – A stakeholder requests a new feature, and a change request is submitted. However, the Change Control Board does not approve it. The question asks what the project manager should do next in response to the decision.

Question 14: Project is Authorized – What’s Next? – The project has received formal approval from the sponsor and is now moving forward. The question asks what the next step should be in the project lifecycle.

Question 15: How to Initiate a Project – After completing the business case, the project needs formal authorization to proceed. The question asks what step should be taken next to initiate the project officially.

Question 16: Engaging the Right Stakeholders – A project manager is developing an internal system for financial reports. Some stakeholders will rely on it but aren’t directly involved. The question asks how to ensure proper stakeholder engagement. Options include reviewing project documents, moving the team closer to stakeholders, analyzing stakeholder influence, or using a central team portal.

Question 17: More Scope on a Closed Project – A project to develop a customer support system is closed, with deliverables validated, lessons archived, and the team reassigned. The sponsor requests an additional feature outside the original scope. The question asks how to respond—whether to inform the sponsor it’s out of scope, reassign team members, use remaining funds, or propose a new business case.

Question 18: Stakeholders Blocking Access – Key stakeholders start demanding extra approval steps, blocking access to resources. The question asks how to respond—by escalating to the sponsor, reducing communication, increasing communication, or adjusting the schedule.

Question 19: Unnoticed Issue – During an IT system implementation, a team member makes an unintentional mistake that could cause a delay. The issue wasn’t reported immediately. The question asks what to do—wait to see if the client notices, transparently address it, ignore it, or log it as a risk.

Question 20: Team Member Ignoring Instructions – A senior developer with significant experience challenges the project manager’s decisions and works independently. The question asks how to respond—by mandating compliance, fostering open communication, ignoring the behavior, or fully empowering the developer.
