PMP Question 6

[admin]

The WBS and the WBS dictionary are completed. The project team has begun working on identifying risks. The sponsor contacts the project manager, requesting that the responsibility matrix be issued. The project has a budget of US$100,000 and is taking place in 3 countries using 14 human resources. There is little risk expected for the project and the project manager has managed many projects similar to this one. What is the next thing to do?

a) Understand the experience of the sponsor on similar projects
b) Create an activity list
c) Make sure the project scope is defined
d) Complete risk management and issue the responsibility assignment matrix

The correct answer is B.

Look at the order of planning the project the team has chosen. Though understanding the sponsor (choice A) might sound like a good idea, the sponsor is a stakeholder and understanding them is part of stakeholder analysis. That should have occurred before the creation of a WBS. In planning the project, the project scope is defined (choice C is another way of saying finalize the project scope statement) and would come before creating a WBS. Choice D cannot be best as that work does not come next in the process. Other work, like creating a network diagram, should be completed before risk management can effectively be done. Only the activity list (choice B) comes after the WBS and WBS dictionary.
