What this exam covers
5 real sample questions
A project manager on a two-year project learns that the organisation's borrowing costs are expected to rise sharply next year, and that the project's second-year spend is funded by borrowing. What should the project manager do?
A. Reduce scope to eliminate year-two spend
B. Accelerate all spend into year one
C. Ignore it since interest rates are outside the project's control
D. Anticipate the finance challenge by assessing the impact on project cost and raising it with the sponsor and finance for a decision on options
Show answer and reasoning

Correct answer: D. Anticipate the finance challenge by assessing the impact on project cost and raising it with the sponsor and finance for a decision on options

Correct: anticipating future finance challenges is a Process Task 6 enabler.

  • A: Scope cuts are a decision for the sponsor after assessment.
  • B: Acceleration may not be feasible or wise without analysis.
  • C: External factors can affect project finances and should be assessed.

A sponsor asks an agile project manager for a financial report showing the value delivered per unit of spend so far, not just the amount spent. What should the report include?
A. The number of sprints completed
B. A list of team members and their rates
C. Story points delivered per sprint
D. Cumulative spend alongside delivered outcomes or benefit measures per increment, so the sponsor can see value against cost
Show answer and reasoning

Correct answer: D. Cumulative spend alongside delivered outcomes or benefit measures per increment, so the sponsor can see value against cost

Correct: planning financial reporting under Process Task 6 should meet the sponsor's need, which here is value against cost.

  • A: Sprint count says nothing about value or spend.
  • B: Rates describe cost inputs, not value.
  • C: Story points are effort, not value.

A hybrid project manager notices that the team's quality checks are done only at major milestones every three months. Problems found at milestones require extensive rework. What should the project manager do?
A. Keep milestone reviews since they are in the plan
B. Remove the milestone reviews to save time
C. Add more people to the milestone reviews
D. Introduce ongoing quality reviews at shorter intervals so problems are found and corrected early
Show answer and reasoning

Correct answer: D. Introduce ongoing quality reviews at shorter intervals so problems are found and corrected early

Correct: conducting ongoing quality reviews is a Process Task 7 enabler. Frequent checks reduce rework.

  • A: The plan can be improved when it is producing costly rework.
  • B: Removing reviews removes the only quality control.
  • C: More reviewers at a late review still finds problems late.

A hybrid project manager notices that the contingency reserve is being used to fund small scope additions requested by stakeholders rather than identified risks. Half the reserve is gone with most risks still open. What should the project manager do?
A. Ask for a larger reserve
B. Stop using contingency for scope changes, route those requests through change control with their own funding decision, and report the reserve position to governance
C. Refuse all stakeholder requests
D. Continue since the reserve is there to be spent
Show answer and reasoning

Correct answer: B. Stop using contingency for scope changes, route those requests through change control with their own funding decision, and report the reserve position to governance

Correct: managing financial reserves is a Process Task 6 enabler. Contingency is for risks, and misuse must be corrected and reported.

  • A: Enlarging a misused reserve does not fix the misuse.
  • C: Requests may be valid; they need proper handling, not refusal.
  • D: The reserve's purpose is risk response, not discretionary scope.

An agile project is being planned. The sponsor asks the project manager for the total effort estimate and the resource plan before the first sprint. The team has only a high-level backlog. What should the project manager do?
A. Give a single precise figure to satisfy the sponsor
B. Ask the sponsor to fund the project without an estimate
C. Provide a range estimate based on the high-level backlog and team capacity, explain the uncertainty, and commit to refining it as the backlog is elaborated
D. Refuse to estimate until the backlog is fully detailed
Show answer and reasoning

Correct answer: C. Provide a range estimate based on the high-level backlog and team capacity, explain the uncertainty, and commit to refining it as the backlog is elaborated

Correct: estimating work effort and resource requirements is a Process Task 1 enabler. In adaptive projects, early estimates are ranges refined over time, and that should be explained.

  • A: False precision misleads the sponsor and sets up a broken expectation.
  • B: Funding decisions require some basis; asking for a blank cheque is unrealistic.
  • D: Sponsors need an estimate to decide; refusing is unhelpful.
