C) Inform the sponsor of the activities to be

B) Tell the team members to cut 15 percent

A) Start the project and constantly look for
cost savings.
D) Add additional resources with low hourly
rate.
Choose one of the following:
Correct Answer: C
To answer this question, you must first realize that it is never appropriate for
a project manager to just cut estimate across the board. You should have
created a project estimate based on realistic work package estimate that do
not include padding. Then, if costs must be decreased, you can look to cut
quality, decrease risk, cut scope, or use cheaper resources (and at the same
time closely monitor the impact of changes on the project schedule).
One of the worst things a project manager can do is to start a project knowing
that the time or cost for the project in unrealistic. Did you notice the choice of
adding additional resources? Even though they have low hourly rates, that
would add cost. Evaluating, looking for alternatives, and then reporting the
impact of cost cutting to the sponsor is the best action to take.

B) Begin to analyze the risks that show up

A) Determine the overall risk rating of the

D) Hold a project risk reassessment.
Choose one of the following:
Correct Answer: C
This situation is occurring during project planning. Planning must be
completed before moving on. Determine the risk rating of the project is done
during Perform Qualitative Risk Analysis, and should have already been done.
Project risk reassessment occurs during Control Risks, the next step in the
risk management Process after Plan Risk Responses. But the question does
not ask what is next in the risk management process, just what is next.
Adding work packages to WBS, as part of iterations, comes next in project
planning.
