Question 1
1 / 1 pts
Why do project managers need to have a genuine interest in people in order to be good project managers?
  
  
  
Correct!
  

When a PM sees the team as individual human beings with many responsibilities, the team members will be more receptive to working towards the project goal even when there are difficulties

 
Question 2
0 / 1 pts
Every project manager should do their best to eliminate the politics which come into play in projects because they only have a negative impact. 
You Answered
  
Correct Answer
  

Politics means that everyone comes to the project with their own set of objectives which is not a negative; it can be very useful to explore those objectives to understand the needs of all of the team members.   Re-watch the video.

 
Question 3
1 / 1 pts
Which of the following describes a project.
  
  
  
Correct!
  

Developing a training class that will be given at the end of the month is a project.  It has a beginning and an end date so it is temporary.  It is something that is being developed, so it is new and unique.   The other choices are repetitive and therefore they are operations. 

 
Question 4
1 / 1 pts
The project is halfway completed and the sponsor just informed you that the budget will be cut by 25%.  This poses a problem because you will need the full amount of money in order to complete the scope of the project.    The triple constraint gives you one option that might allow you to complete the project with the lower amount of money.  Which one is it?
Correct!
  
  
  
  

The triple constraint has boundaries around time, scope and budget.  If one of those boundaries changes the others will be impacted.  Since the budget is shrinking you can extend the timeline (which will probably be necessary to eliminate people from the team due to the decrease in funding).  The other choices are not acceptable.

 
Question 5
0 / 1 pts
What is one of the best tools to use to prevent scope creep?
  
Correct Answer
  
You Answered
  
  

The simplest way to control scope is to clearly define the boundaries in terms of time and resources.
