Project Management Professional (PMP) — Question 8

A project manager has been assigned to an education project with the objective of training a workforce in application development. One of the deliverables is to provide internships to the best students in the customer's active projects. However, the customer does not have enough projects in progress right now. The project manager decides to create several internal projects in order to ensure the internships.
Which three actions should the project manager take to fulfill this scenario without adding costs for the customer? (Choose three.)

Answer options

• A. Create a work breakdown structure (WBS) of the new scope with the internal projects.
• B. Create a change request with the scope of the new internal projects.
• C. Use the project's contingency budget.
• D. Influence the client to initiate a new project.
• E. Manage the quality of the delivery.

Correct answer: A, B, E

Explanation

The correct answers are A, B, and E. Creating a work breakdown structure (WBS) helps define the scope of the internal projects without additional costs. A change request is necessary to formally document and approve the new projects, which is also budget-neutral. Managing the quality of the delivery ensures that the outcomes meet expectations, again without incurring extra costs. Using the contingency budget (C) could lead to overspending, and influencing the client to initiate a new project (D) may not be feasible given the current project limitations.
