Question from Mock Exam 7 – Question 91 (TIA PMP Simulator)
Question from Mock Exam 7 – Question 91 (TIA PMP Simulator) Scenario: Right at the outset of a technology upgrade project, it's discovered that a key software component will no longer be updated by the vendor. Anticipating such a scenario, the project manager had set aside emergency funds. Question: What course of action should the project manager undertake? - Use the emergency funds to immediately replace the outdated software component - Conduct an impact assessment to evaluate how the outdated component affects the project’s goals and deliverables ✅ (Marked as correct) - Request additional funding from stakeholders to cover the replacement and mitigate potential delays - Continue with the existing software component while monitoring for potential risks associated with its obsolescence 🧠 My confusion: The question states that the PM anticipated such a scenario and set aside emergency funds — which implies the risk was: - Identified - Analyzed - Had a contingency reserve (funds) planned specifically for this From a PMI perspective, once a known risk occurs and a response is planned, the PM should execute the response, not re-analyze it again. In this case, the response is already funded. While I understand the explanation says an impact assessment helps ensure alignment with goals, wouldn't that be part of the original risk analysis done during planning? Repeating the assessment now could delay the project or undermine the value of proactive risk management. 💬 What do others think?Shouldn't the PM follow through with the planned risk response, since the question directly connects the emergency funds to the anticipated scenario? Curious to hear from anyone who’s passed the PMP or has insight into how PMI wants us to approach this type of situation. Thanks in advance!

I know what you are saying exactly. I had same question and agree with you. For the exam, when a new risk identified, first thing you do is updating Risk Register. When already identified risk materializes, you revisit the risk register to re-evaluate the probability, impact and risk response. I reached to this conclusion after solving a lot of problems but it is good to get some insight from others. Andrew most likely will not answer your question. I had some questions for him before about some discrepancies in simulator and I did not get response from him or TIA’s admin so I totally left them and went to SH. Hope that he will see my comment and respond to your question.

Direct and manage projects work
Dear mr Andrew in agile methods or iteration and incremental , the processes of direct and manage project work how they are differs between traditional and agile ?

In Agile. Requirements are not clear. It is flexible more than waterfall. For sure at beginning you will have a Road map and high level plan but not detailed. Plans evolve in sprints( iterations). This the whole idea about Agile. Not having clear scope, cost and schedule at the beginning.

Yes. I never worked before using Agile. I never heard about an Agile construction project before. Sometimes we use Design-Build method but not Agile. Just understand the concept. You don’t need to be an Agile expert to pass the exam. Anytime you face an answer stating agile and detailed plans, it isn’t the right answer.,
Answer please
The project manager's company won a digital transformation project request for proposal (RFP) with clear scope, time and cost. As part of the RFP clause, the project manager's company also provided the number of resources required to complete the project. This is a very high investment project, and the customer wants to monitor the progress regularly. Since it is a fixed price project, what approach should the project manager use? 1. A.Use a predictive approach and send the daily status report to the customer. 2. B.Use an Agile approach and showcase each successful completion of the story. 3. C.Use a hybrid approach and showcase each successful completion of each module. 4. D.Use a predictive approach and showcase each successful completion of each module.

You have scope, budget and schedule already finalized. If you don’t complete reading the question you will miss the concept.” High investing project” this means sponsor or the customer wants the results asap. For that reason, you as PM. You need to deliver in iterations to show the “Value”for that reason you need to use Hybrid. Hope this helps.
Passed PMP !!
I passed PMP yesterday. I would like to say special shout out to @Priyanka Goyal whose post gave me all the inspiration I needed on a day when I was debate on quitting due as I was going through hard times .

@Lakshmi Ranganathan Congratulations! From your experience, do you think TIA is enough or should have SH also? Thanks.
