Free PMP Exam Sample Question of the Week

1. PMP EXAM
SAMPLE Q & A

2. You are managing a project to build a house for a private client. A few weeks before the project's
planned completion date, the client calls and asks to add an outdoor sauna to the property. You
analyze the project schedule and determine that this change would be fairly easy to implement
without having an impact on the completion date.
What should you do first?
A. Begin construction since the project completion date is not violated
B. Review the requested change against all project constraints
C. Have the sponsor verify if the change violates construction regulations
D. Consult with the change control board on how to handle the change
HINT: You need to make sure you have everything you need to properly handle a change and
understand its impacts on the project.
Question

3. The correct answer is B.
A project manager is responsible for overseeing the development of the product of the project.
This includes managing changes that arise during execution by balancing competing constraints
with the resources available.
In the scenario presented, the project manager is faced with managing a change introduced late
in the project life cycle. While it appears that an outdoor sauna will not be difficult to implement
and that no negative schedule impacts are anticipated, the change request must still be
examined in greater detail using the Perform Integrated Change Control process to assess the
impact of the change on other project constraints, such as the project schedule, costs, quality,
resources, risks, etc., and communicate the impact of the change to the client.
Answer

4. What if the cost of adding the sauna will exceed the budget the client had in mind for the
project? What if the project does not have enough resources to implement the change? These
and other questions should be asked when a change request is properly evaluated. Therefore, of
the choices provided, reviewing the requested change against all project constraints is the best
answer to the question asked.
