You need to first understand the change before you can evaluate it. In this instance, verbal communication is not likely to provide enough information to evaluate. Once you understand the change, you can work with the team to determine the impact and options.

Revise Scope Management Concepts: Project Scope Management
The correct answer is B.
This question tests if you understand that functional managers generally “own” or control the resources on projects. It would not be professionally responsible to try to keep a resource if he can be replaced without hurting the project (choice A). Choice C cannot be best because it is not the resource’s job to find a replacement. Choice D cannot be best, as waiting might impact the project. By talking to the functional manager, the project manager can find out if the team member will be selected for the other project and see if there really is a problem.

The correct answer is D.
This question tests whether you know how to solve problems, especially if you are one of those project managers who has not realized that an unrealistic schedule is something you should deal with before beginning work. Since cutting product scope affects the customer, choice A has a great negative effect and is therefore not best. A project manager’s job is to determine options for meeting any end date or time, therefore choice B cannot be correct. Working overtime (choice C) is expensive and unnecessary when there are many other choices that could be selected first. Choice D could have the least negative effect on the project.

The correct answer is C.
The risk is the loss of data due to a power outage. Choice A is not related to “mitigating” the problem. It transfers the risk. A reserve fund (choice B) is acceptance and would help address the cost factors after the power failure, but would not reduce the probability or impact of it. Avoiding the hurricane by scheduling the installation at a different time (choice D) mitigates the power outage risk but could have a large negative impact on the project schedule and so is not the best choice. The better choice of the mitigation options (choices C and D) is to monitor the weather and know when to implement the contingency plan.

Correct answer is D.
Operational stakeholders are the ones who will perform their work by using outputs of operation/production from the product/service/or result delivered by the project. Suppliers provide resources or services to complete the project. Suppliers are not operational stakeholders.

The correct answer is D.
In a procurement situation, generally only the procurement manager has the authority to sign changes. Sometimes the project manager has certain expanded authority to sign in the event of an emergency. However, an increase in cost is generally not considered an emergency. Choice A is not appropriate, since in this case, a procurement manager must sign a change. Reporting (choice B) will take too long, and should not be necessary. An extension (choice C) will not help in this situation.

The correct answer is B.
Choices A and C are already stated, because the two items are listed as problems. They may be true, but they are not answers to the question. It would be best to determine if the problems are related (choice B) before planning what to do about them.
