QUESTION: 53

Which stakeholder classification model groups stakeholders based on their level of authority and their active involvement in the project?

Power/influence grid
Power/interest grid
Influence/impact grid
Salience model

Answer(s): A

Explanation:

13.1.2.1 Stakeholder Analysis
Stakeholder analysis is a technique of systematically gathering and analyzing quantitative and qualitative information to determine whose interests should be taken into account throughout the project. It identifies the interests, expectations, and influence of the stakeholders and relates them to the purpose of the project. It also helps to identify stakeholder relationships (with the project and with other stakeholders) that can be leveraged to build coalitions and potential partnerships to enhance the project’s chance of success, along with stakeholder relationships that need to be influenced differently at different stages of the project or phase.

Stakeholder analysis generally follows the steps described below:
Identify all potential project stakeholders and relevant information, such as their roles, departments, interests, knowledge, expectations, and influence levels. Key stakeholders are usually easy to identify. They include anyone in a decision-making or management role who is impacted by the project outcome, such as the sponsor, the project manager, and the primary customer. Identifying other stakeholders is usually done by interviewing identified stakeholders and expanding the list until all potential stakeholders are included.
Analyze the potential impact or support each stakeholder could generate, and classify them so as to define an approach strategy. In large stakeholder communities, it is important to prioritize the stakeholders to ensure the efficient use of effort to communicate and manage their expectations.
Assess how key stakeholders are likely to react or respond in various situations, in order to plan how to influence them to enhance their support and mitigate potential negative impacts.

There are multiple classification models used for stakeholders analysis, such as:
Power/interest grid, grouping the stakeholders based on their level of authority (“power”) and their level or concern (“interest”) regarding the project outcomes;
Power/influence grid, grouping the stakeholders based on their level of authority (“power”) and their active involvement (“influence”) in the project;
Influence/impact grid, grouping the stakeholders based on their active involvement (“influence”) in the project and their ability to effect changes to the project’s planning or execution (“impact”); and
Salience model, describing classes of stakeholders based on their power (ability to impose their will), urgency (need for immediate attention), and legitimacy (their involvement is appropriate).

QUESTION: 54

Which Plan Schedule Management tool or technique may involve choosing strategic options to estimate and schedule the project?

Facilitation techniques
Expert judgment
Analytical techniques
Variance analysis

Answer(s): C

Explanation:

4.4.2.2 Analytical Techniques
Analytical techniques are applied in project management to forecast potential outcomes based on possible variations of project or environmental variables and their relationships with other variables. Examples of analytical techniques used in projects are:
Regression analysis, Grouping methods, Causal analysis, Root cause analysis,
Forecasting methods (e.g., time series, scenario building, simulation, etc.), Failure mode and effect analysis (FMEA),
Fault tree analysis (FTA), Reserve analysis,
Trend analysis,
Earned value management, and Variance analysis.

Process: 6.1 Plan Schedule Management
Definition: The process of establishing the policies, procedures, and documentation for planning, developing, managing, executing, and controlling the project schedule.
Key Benefit: The key benefit of this process is that it provides guidance and direction on how the project schedule will be managed throughout the project.

QUESTION: 55

Which basic quality tool is most useful when gathering attributes data in an inspection to identify defects?

Control charts
Pareto diagrams
Ishikawa diagrams
Checksheets

Answer(s): D

Explanation:

Checksheets, which are also known as tally sheets and may be used as a checklist when gathering data. Checksheets are used to organize facts in a manner that will facilitate the effective collection of useful data about a potential quality problem. They are especially useful for gathering attributes data while performing inspections to identify defects. For example, data about the frequencies or consequences of defects collected in checksheets are often displayed using Pareto diagrams.
