The document summarizes an example question from the PMP exam about project management processes. The question describes leading a project to develop a new web application which involves reprioritizing tasks, determining iteration velocity, and holding retrospectives. The correct answer is that this work falls under the "Control Schedule" process when using an agile approach. Adaptive project cycles in agile involve short iterations to review and adapt work and schedules accordingly.

1. PMP EXAM
SAMPLE Q & A

2. You are leading a project to develop a new web application. Together with your project team, you reprioritize
the product backlog, determine velocity for the past iterations, and adapt your work plans accordingly.
Additionally, you facilitate retrospectives every two weeks.
Which of the following processes describes the work you are performing?
A. Monitor Risks
B. Manage Quality
C. Control Schedule
D. Develop Schedule
HINT: Conducting retrospectives, reprioritizing the backlog, and determining the velocity of an iteration are
activities performed by a project team when an agile project management approach is used.
Question

3. The correct answer is C.
Adaptive life cycles, such as the agile approach, use short cycles to undertake work, review the
results, and adapt as necessary. These cycles provide rapid feedback on the work approaches and
suitability of deliverables and generally involve iterative scheduling.
The project described in the scenario is using an agile approach, as evidenced by the use of the
retrospectives, backlog, and iterations. When an agile approach is used, Control Schedule is
concerned with conducting retrospectives to correct and improve processes, reprioritizing the
backlog, determining the velocity in each iteration, and adjusting the plans accordingly.
Therefore, of the choices provided, the work you are performing is best described by the Control
Schedule process.
