3. You have just been hired as the operations manager for a telecommunications
company. You are tasked with improving the company's services and operations
and a team of 20 engineers report to you. During your first week at this
company, you found that the engineers spend at least 80% of their time
responding to unexpected requests for information from different stakeholders.
Because of this, your engineers cannot focus on the operations, which is
resulting in frequent network outages. As the project manager, what should you
do first to resolve this problem?
a. Tell the engineers to stop responding to unexpected requests since they are
not covered in the Communications Management Plan
b. Push the engineers to respond to all the requests faster so that they are able
to perform their regular duties
c. Perform all project communications yourself and let the engineers focus
on the operations
d. Analyze the stakeholder requirements and review the Communications
Management Plan
Hint: You need to further investigate the problem.
Sample PMP® Exam Question 1

4. The correct answer is D
You are clearly having issues in your
Control Communications process. Control
Communications is the process used to
make relevant information available to
project stakeholders, as planned to ensure
the information needs of the stakeholders
are met. The focus here is mainly in the
Controlling process group. However, since
your team is spending 80% of their time
handling unexpected information
requests, clearly something is terribly
wrong. You should further investigate the
issue by analyzing stakeholder
requirements and reviewing the
Communications Management Plan.
Answer and Explanation

5. You are managing a mega construction project. You conduct bi-weekly
team meetings and distribute weekly targets. However, you are frequently
finding that your team does not understand you properly and is not
performing according to the guidelines which have been communicated.
Which of the following is most likely missing in your team meetings?
a. Verbal communication
b.Non-verbal communication
c. Paralingual communication
d.Team's feedback
Hint: What must be included in your team meetings to make sure that
your team understands your targets?
Sample PMP® Exam Question 2

6. The correct answer is D
"Team meetings are all about ""verbal communication"",
which makes this choice incorrect.“ "Non-verbal
communication"" refers to your gestures, facial expressions,
and physical appearance while you are communicating your
message. ""Paralingual communication"" is the tone and
pitch of your voice when you are talking to people. Both non-
verbal communication and paralingual communication are
automatically expressed by anyone using verbal
communications. Therefore, we can safely assume that your
team meetings contain these as well. Therefore, both of these
choices are incorrect. The only answer left is ""Team's
feedback"" because the scenario does not explicitly say if you
are asking for it or if the team members are providing it. The
scenario also explains that even though you have a lot of
meetings and a lot of communication, there seems to be a
disconnect. Getting the team's feedback during the meeting
is the method that ensures that the audience is
understanding what is being communicated."
Answer and Explanation

7. You are managing a telecommunications project, and 10 telecom
engineers report to you. Due to a change in scope requested by your
customer, you need to add more team members, and you decide to hire
two more engineers. How many communication channels will be added
by hiring these engineers?
a. 21
b.23
c. 66
d.78
Hint: What was the size of the project team before hiring the new
engineers and what is it afterwards?
Sample PMP® Exam Question 3

8. The correct answer is B
As 10 engineers reported to you before
the recruitment exercise, the total
project team size was 11 and the
number of communication channels
was 11*10/2 = 55. After the recruitment
of two engineers the new team size is
13 and the communications channels
are now 13*12/2 = 78. The additional
communication channels therefore
total 78-55 = 23.

9. You are managing a factory setup project and it was decided earlier that you
will outsource all the civil construction works to qualified vendors. Your
project planning is complete and you are ready to invite, shortlist, and select a
couple of vendors for this job. You have prepared the procurements scope of
work document that will help all of the interested parties understand the
scope in order to place an accurate bid. Which of the following procurement
techniques should you use to make sure that all the vendors understand the
scope of work properly before they place a bid?
a. Proposal Evaluation Techniques
b.Independent Estimates
c. Advertising
d.Bidder Conference
Hint: Invite every shortlisted bidder for a gathering.
Sample PMP® Exam Question 4

10. The correct answer is D
Proposal evaluation techniques and
independent estimates are
techniques to evaluate bids and not
to make sure the vendor
understands the scope of work.
Advertising is the technique used to
invite vendors to obtain the scope of
work and place their bids, but this
also does not make sure that they
properly understand the scope of
work. The only way to make sure
that the vendors understand the
scope of work properly is to hold
bidder conferences.
Answer and Explanation

11. You are managing a complex project and some of the project work needs to
be outsourced. You have prepared a Procurement Scope of Work document
and you are about to advertise the job to obtain vendor proposals. However,
you need to have a benchmark document against which you can later
compare the vendor proposals. Your primary focus for this activity is to
have control over the quoted prices. You will also need this document later
to compare whether or not your vendors properly understood the scope of
work. Which technique should you use to develop this control document?
a. Expert Judgment
b. Independent Estimates
c. Internet Search
d. Procurement Negotiations
Hint: You need to have an estimate created for the work to serve as a
benchmark against which to compare vendor proposals..
Sample PMP® Exam Question 5

12. The correct answer is B
Independent estimates provide an
organization with the ability to obtain
an initial estimate of the cost of the
work in question. This can serve as a
benchmark for proposals submitted
by vendors for the same work.
Independent estimates can either be
created using the organization's
internal staff or can be solicited from
an expert outside of the organization.
