Actual exam question for PMI's PMI-SP exam
Question #: 69
Topic #: 8
[All PMI-SP Questions]

You are the project manager for your organization. You are coaching Allen, a junior project manager,

on how the details of the project's critical path are calculated. Examine the figure given below:

What is the critical path of this project?

Show Suggested Answer Hide Answer
Suggested Answer: B

The project's Communications Management Plan defines what information will be distributed, when

it will be distributed, to whom it will be

distributed, and the modality of the information.

Answer option D is incorrect. The Schedule Management Plan defines the project work, when the

project work will happen, resource

utilization, and how the schedule will be monitored and controlled.

Answer option C is incorrect. There is a stakeholder management strategy, but not a Stakeholder

Management Plan.

Answer option A is incorrect. The project's Scope Management Plan defines how the scope will be

created, how the changes will be allowed,

how the scope will be executed, monitored and controlled, and finally closed.

I feel like I’ve seen a similar question before, and I think it was about identifying dependencies. I’m torn between options C and D.

I think the critical path is the longest path through the project, so I might lean towards option B, but I need to double-check the durations.

I've got this! The critical path is the longest sequence of activities that determines the minimum project duration. I'll walk through the diagram step-by-step.

I'm a bit confused by this question. The Deep Security Relay is involved in policy and update distribution, but I'm not sure which of these options best describes its purpose. I'll need to think this through or maybe even guess if I can't figure it out.

Separating the form into multiple steps seems like a good strategy to me. That way you can break up the information collection and make it less overwhelming for users.

This question is testing our knowledge of the data privacy diligence process, which can be a bit tricky. I think the best approach is to carefully read through each option and consider which one doesn't align with the typical steps involved. I'm going to take my time and really think this through.

This question is giving me flashbacks to my college engineering classes. Forget the critical path, I just want to know how to build a working robot that can do my job for me. Then I can sit back and enjoy the sweet taste of victory - and a cold, refreshing beverage.

Okay, time to put on my project manager hat. After a careful analysis, I believe the correct answer is ACFIJ. Those tasks have the longest duration and must be completed in sequence. Now, if only I could find a way to squeeze in a game of Tetris during the project meetings...

Hold up, I'm getting a bit dizzy just looking at this diagram. But I think the critical path is ABEHJ. It's the longest path without any forks, right? This is why I stick to Scrum - no need for all this critical path nonsense!

Hmm, I'm not so sure about that. The figure shows some tasks with multiple predecessors, so I think the critical path might be ADGJ. Gotta watch out for those dependencies!

This is a tricky one! The critical path is all about the longest sequence of tasks that must be completed on time. Let's see...ACFGJ looks like the longest path to me.
