1. D . Since the assignment is security classified , I tried to remove remaining options. 2. D. A well defined success criteria with customer is definitely avoid all the gaps in expectations 3. A. Testing team will start the validation after the completion of the development of all requirements. 4. B & D. The functional failure is seen on post delivery. So there is a gaps in definition of ready. This has to be explained. Also the fix was come out from an individual, he has to explain the risks and lessons learned post quick fix integration 5. predictive life cycle --> A project where scope, cost and time will be determined in the early phases of life cycle. Interactive life cycle --> A project where the scope is determined early in the project life but time and cost will be constantly modified. Teams will do series of repeated cycles until it reaches perfection. Incremental life cycle --> Scope is constantly changing for new deliverable, butt rollout of the deliverable would be done in a known phased approach. Hybrid life cycle --> A project which needs to be launched in the market as quickly as possible 6. D. Ensuring the format validity is the prior step before the other steps. 7. A & E. To keep the engineers familiar with their current job. 8. Analogous Estimating --> Some of the activities on the project have been done previously in some other similar project Parametric Estimating --> For the some of the activities , a range of estimates is preferred due to insufficient historical data Three point estimating --> Cable installation activity is directly proportional to the number of labor hours put in by the staff Bottom up Estimating--> LaKedra is planning to use WPs to estimate and make her way up on the WBS 9. D. This must be aligned with the project stake holders as the impact on timeline and budget is inevitable after 60% of project completion. 10.A & C. Options are derived directly from the figures given. 11. Avoid - I don't have time to deal with this right now. You both can take a decision on your own Smooth - I heard that you both did a great job in resolve the phase 1 issues. Good job and keep it. Compromise - Do half development as per Ron and other half as per Susy. Problem solve - Let's talk about the issue and reason for favoring one approach over the other. Once we discuss the viewpoints, lets adopt a solution which is good for the project 12. Activities - A direct reflection on what to accomplish 13. B & D . Kanban board will help to maintain the frequent tracking. Common milestones and overall dependency NW will ensure the alignment consistency. 14 A . CR will record the data for further steps and references. 15. B . Backlog refinement may help to explore options to avoid patented component dependency.

1. B - have retrospectives, so that feedback can be incorporated. 2. A - continuous retrospectives on the increments eliminates the surprises at the end of the projects, making sure customers be happy with end product. 3. D - once you finish once phase of all developments, you are into finishing testing the individuals. 4. B & C - deninition of ready & done will help. 5. Predictive - where scope, time, cost are dtermined in early phases Iterative - Project where scope will be determined, cost & time will be modified; because its repetetive, team doing series of repeated cycles until perfection Incremental - Project needs to be launched in market as soon as possible Hybrid - Scope is changing, other deliverbales are done in known phased approach 6. D - since its legal issue, any new modulation should be checked with compliance team. 7. A & B - as team may be lacking motivation and need creative spike; there seems there is enough tenchincal expertise in the team 8. Analogous - Cable installation is directly proportional to number of labor hours put in Parametric - Some activities on project have been done previously in some other similar project Three point - For some activities, a range of estimates is preferred due to insufficient historical data Bottom Up - Planning to use work packages estimate and her way up on WBS 9. D - as there is change reflecting in the schedule and budget, change request needs to be submitted informing to stakeholders 10. A & C - as 20k$ should be spent by time of 20% work done, actual spent is 15k$, so its under budget and schedule planned should be 30% work to be done but only 20% done, so 10% lack in schedule 11. Avoid - I dont have time to deal, you both take a decision on your own Smooth - I heard that you both did a great job in resolve phase 1 issue, good job and keep it up Compromise - Do half as per Ron and other hald per Susy Problem Solve - Lets sit and talk and reson for favor in approach over other. Once we discuss, lets adopt a solution good for project. 12. A - WBS has all activities listed into it. 13. B & D - common kanban boards can be used to see progress of both teams and also common milestones with overall dependency network which syncs the both teams deliverables 14. B - Since its disregard to legal requirements that changes are proposed, verify with organisation legal team for guidance. 15. B - since its legal issue, its better to perform backlog refinement working with compliance team

Question; 1 I choosed A because common E- Kanban is the best option to let everyone know what is going in project. I have also confused about option C but I little know about scrum of scrum. 2 This is obvious that continous and increment feedback is the strength of agile mindset. Hence conflits can be avoided further we one get incremental feedback rather than a unexpected outcome later. 3 I did not know about this answer. 4 I eliminated A & E since these were not the solutions. Among C,D, B, think C& D are the correct close one. 5 Its about PLCs. That’s quite explanatory. 6 When there is a legal mandate & a blocker to implement it, Once should first reach out to legal team to determine the solutions and way round. 7 Motivation & Meetings about the problem may help to increase the productivity. I am partially correct. 8 Its about estimation methods. That’s quite explanatory. 9 D comes out as an extreme next option to choose & this will help PM to move on with the right mindset. 10 While following SV & CV formula, it helped to choose the answer. 11 I learnt it in Eduhubspot 1st class. All self explainatory. 12 I did not know about this answer. 13 I did not know about this answer. 14 If there is an legal impact, First one should discuss with the legal team before an direct actions. A,B,C are direct actions which cant help. 15 B solving the problem.

Q1: C - scrum of scrums because it is a scaled agile technique that offers a way to connect multiple teams on more frequent basis to work together to deliver solutions. Q2: A - obtaining feedback on incremental more frequent basis to ensures that the consumer’s success criteria are being met. Q3: A - this dependency demonstrates that one activity must be fully complete before any following activity may begin. The development of all the requirements must be fully completed before testing individual modules may begin. Q4: C and D - The work is already completed in this scenario. Examination and identification of gaps in Definition of Done could help the team figure out the solution to the problem and prevent this from happening in future because it helps to answer the q’s of what’d did we miss, what went wrong. Additionally, understanding what the Team Member’s rational was for solving the problem the way he/she did, helps identify gaps in his/her thinking/approach. That combined with identification and analysis of lessons learned (why this things happened, what could be done to prevent it) contributes to prevention of the same issues in future. Q5: A-Iterative Life cycle; B-Predictive life cycle; C-Hybrid life cycle; D-Incremental Life cycle Q6: D - since this is a new regulation checking in with Compliance Team and making sure the application of fold-out flap meets the legal requirements (is in compliance with) of the Regulation should be the first step. Once confirmed the team can move on to the next steps, which would be updating sprint backlog and making sure the lanes are ready for printing the following week. Q7: C and D - adding T-shaped profiles may help because they have specified design engineering knowledge and skills but also have more general knowledge in the areas that cover execution of the new duties assigned to the team. Getting help to mentor the team on how they can combine their new duties with their design work would equipped them with skills necessary to execute their work effectively and efficiently. Q8: A - Bottom up; B - Three point estimating; C - Analogous estimating; D - Parametric estimating Q9: D - before any changes are made, the project manager needs to figure out what the updated delivery date and budget would be based on the circumstances . Once that done he/she should communicate with project stakeholders and submit the change request for approval before any “action” of changing is done. Q10: A and E
EV = 100,000*0.2= $20,000 SV= EV-PV -- PV cannot be determined based on the scenario CV = EV-AC = 20,000-15,000 =5,000 >1 Below Budget Q11: A - Compromise; B - Avoid; C - Smooth; D: problem solve Q12: A - the goal of WBS is to have work to be broken into smaller and more manageable components, which are activates. The activities are big enough to allow tracking of completion of each of them by team members. Q13: B and D- common Kanban Board would help to visualize the work of both teams, limit the WIP so there is no confusion, and increase efficiency. Creating common milestones and dependency network will allow both teams to break the silos and work more as a cohesive unit with clear delivery/milestones/work dependency and sequence expectations. Q14: B - implementing those alternations may cause critical compliance issues. Verifying with legal team for guidance hour be the first step before any actions are taken Q15: B - working with legal department and team on refining the backlog would ensure legal compliance and reduce the risk of potential intellectual property legal issues

This is my first day of learning with nearly no agile knowledge or experience other than it’s use, so will be answering these at the moment without the PMI hat. 1. Unsure between A and C, electronic kanban board (basically common visualisations of activities) could work. Scrum of scrum layer i assume is a scrum between 2 different scrums(and by extension, 2 different teams with varying priorities), could work as well, as you might be able to align common goals/priorities together with the supplier. 2. A. As i feel with proper feedback on each release, the requirements could have been captured better. C was also in contention for me as the the scope/vision could have been laid out well initially itself. 3. A. Activity X has to finish for Y to begin. Possibly on critical path too. 4. C and D. Identifying scope gaps and trying to learn from the team member’s approach to solving the problem seem appropriate. 5. Predictive- 2, Iterative- 1, Incremental- 4, Hybrid- 3. Was confused if hybrid fit 3 or 4, but the key word was product launch needed to be asap 6. Unsure between C and D but probably leaning towards D. C could work as the team decides to solve the problem, hence add the scope into the backlog, not necessarily the unapproved solution. D Could work as the compliance team can approve/ disapprove of potential solution. 7. Unaware of most terms on there at the moment. Answering without the PMI hat, D & E are out, so I’ll go with A and B. 8. Unaware of these techniques at the moment. Answering without the PMI hat, i think Bottom up-1, parametric-2, analogous -3, 3 point -4 9. Unsure between B and D. A sounds like paperwork, that’s out for me. C is out, as it’s not the resource’s fault. B could work but is it fair to put all responsibility on the other members without knowing if they have the skillset? D as a statement doesn’t make sense to me, because if the stakeholders include a client, why do they have to live with a revised schedule and budget? Also don’t you submit a change request to a customer for out of scope or additional work? Why would you submit that to a potential client for someone from your team being removed by probably your executive. 10. Simple math. A and C, behind schedule, under budget 11. Avoid- 2, Smooth- 3, Compromise- 1, Problem solve- 4 12. Unsure between A or D 13. B and D sound right to track and visualise deliverables 14. B. Go to legal first 15. B sounds right. Work with the legal team to fix the backlog. C sounds a bit extreme, as that would stop work.

Thank you so much for an amazing comment which is a blessing for me. Me & my team is working defiantly very hard to avail the best content for the PMP aspirants to ace PMP in their first attempt. Varun

@@EduHubSpot I believe it's not whether they have time to reply to each comment. It shows the commitment and dedication towards students and their ethics. After attending just 1 intro video and watching 1st video of Varun itself, my thought process has changed on how to look at solving the questions. I'm just sharing my thoughts and nothing otherwise 😊

Q8. A- Bottom up B- Analogous C- Parametric D- Three Point Wasn't sure about the definitions of any

Q9. B, as it's important to keep the team members informed and ask them to take up the work to complete the project on time

Thanks for this video it was so helpful.

Question 2 : Another good question, if the all stories has been completed, it means they have met the DoD. Option D is eliminated. Option C, a product backlog is dynamic, it changes based upon the feedback, it is prepared by the Product Owner who has a clear understanding of the. customer being its representative. Option B is eliminated. Option B is eliminated because the test plan is only to make sure that the acceptance criteria is met. Option A is the best answer because Agile is more on getting constant feedback and involvement from the customer. Correct Ans A Question 3 : If you know my flip technique, then you know the answer is Finish to Start (key words cannot BEGIN until dev COMPLETED) Correct Ans A Question 4 : Option A is an extreme choice. it is not giving the Director a solution. I remembered in engagement, before coming up to the executives, you need to come up with a solution and not just say it will be corrected. Option B - Definition of Ready will ensure that requirements are clear and before beginning the work, this should be established. At this point, the work has already been selected for that iteration. Option C is a good choice because definition of Done will ensure that the functions are working and meets the acceptance criteria and more importantly, the functions are working and it passed testing. Examining this can fill in the gaps on WHY the scenario happened. Option D is a good choice because this is taking ACCOUNTABILITY of the work done and recording the lesson learned to prevent this from happening in the future. Option E is an extreme choice. Correct Ans C & D Question 7 : There is a problem and you do spike to find out that problem. So A is a good choice. Option B is not a good choice because the question is on productivity and motivation. Option C is a good choice because Agile Team should be cross functional and generalized experts/ team member can help when we have requirements facing with different competencies. Option D is not a good choice because the problem is not about creativity. Option E is not even an option. We don’t do that. Time is fixed in Agile. Correct Ans : A & C Question 8 : A-3, B-2, C-4, D-1: Below are the keywords. Bottom Up - use work packages to estimate all the way up on the WBS. Parametric - Cable installation is directly proportional to number of labor hours. Analogous.- From previous similar project. Three point - range of estimates (triangular, standard, beta, variance) Question 12 : Activities come after WBS, so A is out. Bar chart and WBS are two different things all together, so B is out as well. List of risks are part of risk register, so C is out. Only option left is D which is team buy in. You want team to agree on whatever deliverables are assigned to them, so D is the best choice. Correct Ans D Question 15 : A - closing the project should be discussed first in a kill-point session to ensure everyone is on the same page. This is also an extreme choice. C is not a good choice because it of LEGAL issues with the current design. D is also an extreme choice. B is the best choice because knowing which features are patented can be removed and alternate solutions can be added in the backlog and reprioritized. Correct Ans B I read all your comments, overall good job and thank you for participating. Varun

Question 1 : Identify the problem in question. Problem is that your day is filled with meetings but you still want to know what’s going on. This is a real problem and real problem can be resolved by doing a scrum of scrum meeting. Coming up with a Kanban board is also good but still you are not meeting or its not really the best. Coming up with fishbowl or common retrospective might not be the best strategy. Correct Ans C Question 2 : Another good question, if the all stories has been completed, it means they have met the DoD. Option D is eliminated. Option C, a product backlog is dynamic, it changes based upon the feedback, it is prepared by the Product Owner who has a clear understanding of the. customer being its representative. Option B is eliminated. Option B is eliminated because the test plan is only to make sure that the acceptance criteria is met. Option A is the best answer because Agile is more on getting constant feedback and involvement from the customer. Correct Ans A Question 6 : This is a mandatory requirement and cannot be MISSED especially. Mass production of labels are beginning in a week (close). Option A is a predictive method that follows Change control process, so it's not agile. Option B can be a good choice so they can get feedback because the existing one is small to accommodate the warnings. Option C update the sprint backlog to add the new requirement is not the process of agile in terms it should be submitted first to Product Backlog and reprioritized. Option D can be a good choice but mass production will be done in a week which will cost the organization some wastage if not done sooner. To be sure though, the compliance team knows when it will start. If we know the validity, we can have time to plan for the requirement. Correct Answer is D Question 8 : A-3, B-2, C-4, D-1: Below are the keywords. Bottom Up - use work packages to estimate all the way up on the WBS. Parametric - Cable installation is directly proportional to number of labor hours. Analogous.- From previous similar project.

This shows me exactly how you think and this is important for your PMP exam. Varun

Question 9 : A is not a good choice because project management plan is the HOW to manage situations like this referring to schedule and budget. B is a good choice but will overload the existing team members because of added work on top of already assigned work. C is not a good choice because the team member is a shared resource which can be pulled out anytime for some higher priority. Answer is D because it will basically cause a variance in schedule and cost baseline. Correct Ans D Varun

Keep up the good work!! Varun

Question 13 : B is to have visibility of the deliverables and D is to have common milestones. A is not a good choice because agile is more suitable for software dev projects. C is maybe a good choice to split different tasks of the work package that will align with the software releases dependency but will not ensure sync for 2 different teams. E is same as C.

C is not a good choice because it of LEGAL issues with the current design. D is also an extreme choice. B is the best choice because knowing which features are patented can be removed and alternate solutions can be added in the backlog and reprioritized. Correct Ans B I read all your comments, overall great job and thank you for participating. This shows me exactly how you think and this is important for your PMP exam. Varun

Question 3 : If you know my flip technique, then you know the answer is Finish to Start (key words cannot BEGIN until dev COMPLETED) Correct Ans A Varun

Question 1 : Identify the problem in question. Problem is that your day is filled with meetings but you still want to know what’s going on. This is a real problem and real problem can be resolved by doing a scrum of scrum meeting. Coming up with a Kanban board is also good but still you are not meeting or its not really the best. Coming up with fishbowl or common retrospective might not be the best strategy. Correct Ans C Question 2 : Another good question, if the all stories has been completed, it means they have met the DoD. Option D is eliminated. Option C, a product backlog is dynamic, it changes based upon the feedback, it is prepared by the Product Owner who has a clear understanding of the. customer being its representative. Option B is eliminated. Option B is eliminated because the test plan is only to make sure that the acceptance criteria is met. Option A is the best answer because Agile is more on getting constant feedback and involvement from the customer. Correct Ans A Question 4 : Option A is an extreme choice. it is not giving the Director a solution. I remembered in engagement, before coming up to the executives, you need to come up with a solution and not just say it will be corrected. Option B - Definition of Ready will ensure that requirements are clear and before beginning the work, this should be established. At this point, the work has already been selected for that iteration. Option C is a good choice because definition of Done will ensure that the functions are working and meets the acceptance criteria and more importantly, the functions are working and it passed testing. Examining this can fill in the gaps on WHY the scenario happened. Option D is a good choice because this is taking ACCOUNTABILITY of the work done and recording the lesson learned to prevent this from happening in the future. Option E is an extreme choice. Correct Ans C & D Question 5 : A-2, B-1, C-4, D-3: Below are the keywords. A- 2 Predictive - cost, time, scope are determined at early phase. B-1 Iterative - series of repetitive cycles until it reaches perfection. C-4 can be used if product need to be launched quickly. D-3 scope is changing but roll out can be phased. Question 7 : There is a problem and you do spike to find out that problem. So A is a good choice. Option B is not a good choice because the question is on productivity and motivation. Option C is a good choice because Agile Team should be cross functional and generalized experts/ team member can help when we have requirements facing with different competencies. Option D is not a good choice because the problem is not about creativity. Option E is not even an option. We don’t do that. Time is fixed in Agile. Correct Ans : A & C Question 8 : A-3, B-2, C-4, D-1: Below are the keywords. Bottom Up - use work packages to estimate all the way up on the WBS. Parametric - Cable installation is directly proportional to number of labor hours. Analogous.- From previous similar project. Three point - range of estimates (triangular, standard, beta, variance) Question 12 : Activities come after WBS, so A is out. Bar chart and WBS are two different things all together, so B is out as well. List of risks are part of risk register, so C is out. Only option left is D which is team buy in. You want team to agree on whatever deliverables are assigned to them, so D is the best choice. Correct Ans D I read all your comments, overall great job and thank you for participating. This shows me exactly how you think and this is important for your PMP exam. Varun

Question 6 : This is a mandatory requirement and cannot be MISSED especially. Mass production of labels are beginning in a week (close). Option A is a predictive method that follows Change control process, so it's not agile. Option B can be a good choice so they can get feedback because the existing one is small to accommodate the warnings. Option C update the sprint backlog to add the new requirement is not the process of agile in terms it should be submitted first to Product Backlog and reprioritized. Option D can be a good choice but mass production will be done in a week which will cost the organization some wastage if not done sooner. To be sure though, the compliance team knows when it will start. If we know the validity, we can have time to plan for the requirement. Correct Answer is D Varun

Parametric - Cable installation is directly proportional to number of labor hours. Analogous.- From previous similar project. Three point - range of estimates (triangular, standard, beta, variance) Question 9 : A is not a good choice because project management plan is the HOW to manage situations like this referring to schedule and budget. B is a good choice but will overload the existing team members because of added work on top of already assigned work. C is not a good choice because the team member is a shared resource which can be pulled out anytime for some higher priority. Answer is D because it will basically cause a variance in schedule and cost baseline. Correct Ans D Question 11 : A-2, B-3, C-1, D-4: Below are the keywords. COMPROMISE - HALF AND HALF; Avoid - let them do the decision; Smooth - "I heard that you both; Problem Solve - talk about the viewpoints then adopt… Question 12 : Activities come after WBS, so A is out.

You want team to agree on whatever deliverables are assigned to them, so D is the best choice. Correct Ans D Question 13 : B is to have visibility of the deliverables and D is to have common milestones. A is not a good choice because agile is more suitable for software dev projects. C is maybe a good choice to split different tasks of the work package that will align with the software releases dependency but will not ensure sync for 2 different teams. E is same as C. Correct Ans B & D Question 14 : PM is not sure what legal requirements that go disregarded. It can only be confirmed by Legal team. B. is the correct answer. A is not because the legal requirements are not validated yet. C is not because the change is not approved and validated. D can be a good choice to refer maybe there was a similar situation. Correct Ans B Question 15 : A - closing the project should be discussed first in a kill-point session to ensure everyone is on the same page. This is also an extreme choice. C is not a good choice because it of LEGAL issues with the current design. D is also an extreme choice.
