I am writing this post to thank my guru @Andrew Ramdayal ! Your course and killer mindset video was all needed to pass this exam.

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 - Use the emergency funds to immediately replace the outdated software component - Conduct an impact assessment to evaluate how the outdated component affects the project’s goals and deliverables ✅ (Marked as correct) - Request additional funding from stakeholders to cover the replacement and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!

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.

A project manager is on a project with a very involved customer. The customer demands regular updates on the project, including the current project status and planned next steps. What is the best way to communicate with the customer? 1. A.Email the customer weekly updates including the project risk register and notes from daily standups. 2. B.Document a detailed summary of the project along with a list of stakeholders, and send it to the customer monthly. 3. C.Schedule daily meetings to provide a brief project summary and details on what the project team is currently working on. 4. D.Schedule weekly meetings with the customer to present incremental project updates and to have the customer validate project progress.
