PK0-005 Question #141: Real Exam Question with Answer & Explanation

Question

A PM is working on the preliminary scope statement and identifies that this project has the same approach as another project that was completed last year. Which of the following actions would the PM MOST likely perform?

Options

• ACall the previous PM for advice on risks and issues.
• BAsk the project sponsor to provide previous final project report results.
• CComplete the project charter using the other PM's subject matter expertise.
• DUse existing artifacts and accommodate based on the current project success criteria.

Explanation

Leveraging past project assets is an efficient way to initiate new projects with similar approaches.

Common mistakes.

• A. While consulting the previous PM for advice is valuable, it's a consultative action, not the primary action of reusing tangible assets to build the preliminary scope statement.
• B. Asking the project sponsor for final project report results is a good step for lessons learned, but the question implies a direct reuse of approach, which points to artifacts rather than just results.
• C. Completing the project charter (which outlines the project's high-level objectives and authority) using another PM's subject matter expertise is helpful, but less direct than using existing documents for the preliminary scope statement.
