CompTIA PK0-005 Practice Test 22

Question 210

The team follows this response: Facilitate roles and norms as the team moves through forming and storming. Context: a newly formed cross-functional team experiences normal role conflict. Which evidence BEST verifies the intended outcome?

Verify required competencies are covered for scheduled tasks
Check workload commitments and escalation routes are documented
Look for improved collaboration and stable working agreements
Verify stakeholders know who performs work versus who owns the decision

Explanation

Correct Answer

Look for improved collaboration and stable working agreements. That evidence tests the response to a newly formed cross-functional team experiences normal role conflict instead of an unrelated project condition.

Incorrect Answers

This check would validate resource skills gap, not the result required by the team development stages case. Resource gap analysis compares available skills with project needs.

This check would validate matrix authority, not the result required by the team development stages case. Matrix organizations share authority between functional and project leaders.

This check would validate raci accountability, not the result required by the team development stages case. RACI distinguishes responsible implementers from accountable decision owners.

Question 211

A project manager treats early disagreement as proof the team must be disbanded. Which principle MOST directly explains how the project should be managed?

Team effectiveness evolves through forming, storming, norming and performing
Resource gap analysis compares available skills with project needs
RACI distinguishes responsible implementers from accountable decision owners
External resources have different governance and allocation rules from employees

Explanation

Correct Answer

Team effectiveness evolves through forming, storming, norming and performing. The situation involves a project manager treats early disagreement as proof the team must be disbanded, so this is the governing distinction.

Incorrect Answers

That principle concerns raci accountability rather than the problem of team development stages. RACI distinguishes responsible implementers from accountable decision owners.

That principle concerns external resource ownership rather than the problem of team development stages. External resources have different governance and allocation rules from employees.

Question 212

A project manager treats early disagreement as proof the team must be disbanded. Which caution is MOST directly relevant to the project manager's decision?

Having access to a contractor does not automatically permit unlimited assignments
Multiple responsible contributors need not imply multiple final accountable owners
Counting available people does not prove the required competencies exist
Initial disagreement is not by itself evidence of permanent dysfunction

Explanation

Correct Answer

Initial disagreement is not by itself evidence of permanent dysfunction. The underlying reason is that team effectiveness evolves through forming, storming, norming and performing.

Question 217

An organization needs vendors to propose distinct approaches to a complex integration. Which project-management action BEST addresses this situation?

Add a justified contingency buffer tied to identified uncertainty
Issue an RFP describing needs and evaluation criteria
Analyze scope, cost, schedule, quality, resources and risks before a decision
Record action items with responsible people and due dates

Explanation

Correct Answer

An RFP solicits proposed solutions rather than only one pre-specified commodity price. Here, an organization needs vendors to propose distinct approaches to a complex integration; the chosen action targets that failure. Verification: compare submitted technical approaches with weighted selection criteria.

Incorrect Answers

This response addresses estimation reserve, but the stated decision concerns request for proposal. Contingency reserves address identified variation within a controlled plan.

This response addresses change impact assessment, but the stated decision concerns request for proposal. Change decisions require cross-baseline impact analysis before approval.

This response addresses meeting action items, but the stated decision concerns request for proposal. Action items turn meeting decisions into accountable work.

Communication integrity and confidentiality are part of project governance
Regression testing detects unintended impacts on existing behavior
An RFP solicits proposed solutions rather than only one pre-specified commodity price

Explanation

Correct Answer

An RFP solicits proposed solutions rather than only one pre-specified commodity price. The situation involves procurement seeks solution designs, capabilities and pricing from several suppliers, so this is the governing distinction.

Incorrect Answers

That principle concerns team empowerment rather than the problem of request for proposal. Agile teams need clear product ownership and enough autonomy to adapt within goals.

That principle concerns confidential messaging rather than the problem of request for proposal. Communication integrity and confidentiality are part of project governance.

That principle concerns regression testing rather than the problem of request for proposal. Regression testing detects unintended impacts on existing behavior.

Question 220

Procurement seeks solution designs, capabilities and pricing from several suppliers. Which caution is MOST directly relevant to the project manager's decision?

Fixed price does not mean unlimited additional scope is included without amendment
A small technical edit cannot be assumed to have zero downstream effects
A high-probability trivial event need not outrank a rare catastrophic event
A simple quote form may be insufficient for evaluating competing solution architectures

Explanation

Correct Answer

A simple quote form may be insufficient for evaluating competing solution architectures. The underlying reason is that an RFP solicits proposed solutions rather than only one pre-specified commodity price.

Incorrect Answers

This is a caution about fixed price contract, not the immediate risk in request for proposal. Fixed-price contracts shift much cost overrun exposure to the supplier within scope.

This is a caution about change impact assessment, not the immediate risk in request for proposal. Change decisions require cross-baseline impact analysis before approval.

This is a caution about qualitative risk matrix, not the immediate risk in request for proposal. Qualitative risk analysis ranks uncertainty using likelihood and impact judgments.
