Exam Questions
1. Answer: B
Scale is not a project constraint. The constraints are Scope, Time, Cost, Quality, Resource, and Risk.
2. Answer: C
There is no mention of the project being late or missing its deadlines in the example. The project was over
budget, which affects the project’s cost. The project won’t meet the stakeholder’s requirements, which is a
quality problem. And the staff was more expensive than planned, which is a resource problem.

Building a purchase order system for accounts payable is a project. It’s a temporary effort that has a unique
result.

Exam Questions
8. Answer: A
Since the project manager has to ask permission from the functional manager and can’t overrule him, she’s
working in a functional organization.
9. Answer: C
The Project Manager in this scenario can overrule the functional manager, so she’s working in a Strong Matrix
organization. If it were a projectized organization, she wouldn’t have to get permission from the functional
manager at all because she’d be the person with authority to assign resources to projects.
