9. Youve been put in-charge of a project that is in its first release. Which document should you read
to identify the project constraints and the acceptance criteria?
a) Scope Statement
b) Project Charter
c) Work Breakdown Structure (WBS)
d) Stakeholder Analysis
10. You are in a workshop with the client. The objective of the workshop is to prioritize scope for the
first release. Since this is a prestigious project, each client stakeholder wants his/her scope items to
be included in the first release. What advise would you give the client stakeholders?
a) Prioritize based on business value
b) Prioritize based on business value and risk
c) Prioritize based on probability of completion
d) Prioritize based on risk and probability of completion
11. What is the correct order of the Scope Management processes?
a) Plan Scope
b) Stakeholder Analysis
c) Collect Requirements
d) Develop Project Charter
16. Youve just completed the Collect Requirements process. Which Scope Management process would
you implement next?
a) Plan Scope
b) Define Scope
c) Create WBS
d) Scope Planning
Answer Key
1) A; The Scope Statement contains scope descriptions, deliverables, acceptance criteria, project
exclusions, and project constraints. The Project Charter includes business needs, high-level risks, and a
summary budget. The Work Break Down Structure is an outcome of the Create WBS process. It contains a
detailed account of the work that needs to be performed. Stakeholder Analysis is a technique that has
nothing to do with acceptance criteria.
2) B; Two factors dictate scope prioritization. These factors are risk and business value. Probability of
completion is very rarely, if ever, used as a parameter for prioritizing scope.
3) B; If you got this wrong then you should go back and make sure you read the Inputs, Tools and
Techniques, and Outputs (ITTOs) in the PMBOK v4.
4) B; Ideally no change should be implemented without making it go through the Change Control Board. In
this case, the question states that the PM wants to track the changes closely. Option B is the only tracking
option.
5) C; Documenting SMART objectives is the only way to ensure that the requirements are not vague.
6) A; The Requirements Traceability Matrix is critical to ensure that the features that will be developed are
directly linked to the requirements. It ensures that whatever is built is directly related to the requirements
and business needs. The Traceability Matrix is commonly used in Six-Sigma processes.
7) C; It is critical for you to know what sort of Tools and Techniques are used in each process. This is an
example of a question that indirectly targets your knowledge of the ITTOs.
8) B; Sequence of processes is another common area that is asked in the exam. Though you wont find too
many questions like this, if you do get a few in the exam, they should be easy pickings.

project scope and associated deliverables. [PMBOK Pg. 123]
16. B. Work Package is the lowest level in the WBS, and is the point, at which it can be reliably scheduled,
cost estimated, monitored and controlled.
