PMI-ACP Question #32: Real Exam Question with Answer & Explanation

The correct answer is C: 92%. Process Cycle Efficiency (PCE) = Value-Added Time / Total Cycle Time. The 2-hour (120-minute) meeting is the value-added time. The non-value-added (waste) time is 2 minutes (scheduling) + 8 minutes (agenda writing) = 10 minutes. Total Cycle Time = 120 + 10 = 130 minutes. PCE = 12

Options

A90%
B8%
C92%
D96%

Explanation

Process Cycle Efficiency (PCE) = Value-Added Time / Total Cycle Time. The 2-hour (120-minute) meeting is the value-added time. The non-value-added (waste) time is 2 minutes (scheduling) + 8 minutes (agenda writing) = 10 minutes. Total Cycle Time = 120 + 10 = 130 minutes. PCE = 120 / 130 â‰ˆ 0.923 = 92%.
