Scenario:
Mallebare is an American company which designs and manufactures gaming accessories. Apart from keyboards, mice, and controllers, the company also manufactures high-quality headsets for which it is widely known. Recently, upon the request of numerous gamers, the company decided to manufacture mousepads too.
For this project, Luke, the CEO of the company, assigned Ross, a senior designer of the company, as the project manager, whereas Smith, a senior engineer, was assigned as project sponsor. In addition, Luke stated the project should be complete within three months, as the company is aiming to promote the mousepads in a major gaming tournament. Lastly, Luke required them to utilize the guidelines of ISO 21502 to manage the project.
Initially, Ross mobilized the team and held a meeting with them to discuss and develop the project plan. He asked the team members to ensure that major functional aspects of the project are covered in the project plan and to identify any issue that might arise throughout the project life cycle. Ross explained that this request comes as a result of the tight deadline of the project and the team must develop a concise plan. Ross added that the plan will not be changed in any circumstance and will be followed in detail.
Following that, Ross and the team discussed the engagement of all relevant stakeholders throughout the project. Ross used a power/interest matrix to categorize all stakeholders in four different groups, where the tournament organizers were categorized as stakeholders with low interest but high power in the project. On the other hand, end users, the gamers, were categorized as stakeholders with high interest and high power in the project, so the project team created a survey to determine their needs and requirements.
Moreover, Ross was aware of the importance of effective communication for the success of the project.
Therefore, he developed a communication plan which would ensure that each individual involved in the project gets the right information in a timely manner. The plan indicated that ad hoc discussions would be conducted in more complex and personal cases, whereas notes and text messages would be used for transmitting simple and factual information. Ross claimed that this model had been successful in previous projects conducted by the company because it allows faster processing of information and includes natural use of language. In addition, Ross determined that a relationship among project team members needs to be established to ensure productive work.
Question:
Based on scenario 6, which communication need did Ross address when he determined that a relationship among project team members needs to be established to ensure productive work?

• A. Responsibility
• B. Status
• C. Coordination

Scenario:
Exhibix is a video game developer headquartered in Zagreb, Croatia, which is known for producing therapeutic video games for children dealing with ADHD. In order to improve users' experience, Exhibix suggested undertaking a project that would enable users to interact with the virtual content in the form of holograms through augmented reality glasses in the video games. For this project, the management decided to follow the guidelines of ISO 21502 on project management.
Prior to formalizing project management, the management of Exhibix assessed, among others, the potential impacts that the project management approach may have on both internal and external stakeholders. In addition, they determined if there were sufficient resources, both human and financial, for the formalized project management. Furthermore, during this period, the management decided to assess only the nature of previous projects, due to their successful delivery.
After formalizing project management, the project board organized a meeting during which they delegated their responsibilities to the project sponsor. Following this meeting, the project sponsor and project manager proceeded to define the project phases and their time frames. Considering the complexity of the project, the project manager suggested leaving open the possibility of overlapping certain phases of the project.
The preparations began in June, and the project manager and the team, consisting of 20 highly skilled professionals, had approximately six months to implement the project. During the implementation of the project, the project team noticed that the low maturity level of the company's project management and the limited availability of resources were likely to have a negative impact on the performance of the project. With the deadline approaching, the team was also under a lot of pressure to close the project on time.
They were confronted with numerous challenges with the AR software, which led to the extension of the deadline for the project completion. During this period, the project office assisted the project manager and the team by providing administrative support and managing information regarding the project. Following these events, the project manager and the team were able to complete the project within the new set deadline. After the project sponsor confirmed the project closure, the AR glasses were released for use.
Question:
Based on the fourth paragraph of scenario 2, what factors did the project team notice that were likely to have a detrimental impact on the project's performance?

• A. Both A and B
• B. Internal
• C. External

Scenario:
Leute is a low-cost airline, headquartered in Wien, Austria. The company aims to offer passengers optimal options regarding its services and gain the lead role among other competitors in the airline industry. Recently, Leute experienced a major drop in revenue due to negative reviews from customers in various online platforms. To increase its profit and enhance customer satisfaction, the company decided to expand its in- flight services by offering entertainment, such as movies, audio books, and games, food for purchase in economy and full meals in premium cabins, and comforts, such as blankets and pillows. For the implementation of this project and future projects of the airline, the CEO of Leute, Michaele Wagner, decided to follow the guidelines of ISO 21502 on project management.
Initially, Allison, the project manager, created a short document in which she justified and summarized all project aspects, including: the nature and purpose of the project, the objectives of the project, key milestones of the project and the time needed to complete the project, and the audience that the project targets.
Afterward, Allison held a meeting with Michaele during which she presented this document and briefly explained each of its points. After a considerable amount of analysis and discussions, the project initiation was approved by Michaele. In addition, a team of eighteen members was authorized to start with the project activities.
While undertaking the project activities, Allison ensured that each work package takes longer than 8 hours, but less than 80 hours, so that they would be completed in 1 to 10 working days. In addition, during this phase, several changes were made in the predefined aspects of the project, which were approved by Nick Todd, the project sponsor. For instance, initially, the project delivery was set to be completed after six months. However, considering how the project was implemented and the time required for the completion of each phase, the deadline for the project completion was postponed for another two months. These changes were also reflected in the business case, which was updated accordingly.
A month after the project execution began, Allison conducted an earned value analysis to measure the progress of the project up to that stage. She measured how efficiently the work was being performed with regard to its budgeted cost, after which she concluded that it was going according to the plan. Moreover, she organized a meeting with relevant project stakeholders in order to communicate the progress report to them.
Question:
Based on scenario 3, Allison conducted the earned value analysis to measure the efficiency of work being performed with regard to its budgeted cost. Which of the following metrics did Allison use in this case?

• A. Cost variance (CV)
• B. Actual cost (AC)
• C. Cost performance index (CPI)

Who is responsible for the acceptance of quality standards and product quality requirements?
