Free PK0-005 sample questions

1. A project manager in a functional organization finds it difficult to get resource commitments from functional managers because project work is secondary to operational work. Which organization structure would give the project manager the MOST authority?

   • A. Projectized organization
   • B. Weak matrix organization
   • C. Functional organization
   • D. Balanced matrix organization
   Show answer

   Correct: A. In a projectized organization, the project manager has full authority over the budget and dedicated team members. In functional and weak matrix structures, functional managers hold primary authority, while balanced matrix divides power equally.

2. A vendor delivers key server hardware two weeks late due to supply chain delays, forcing the software deployment phase to start later than planned. What type of dependency exists between the hardware delivery and the software deployment?

   • A. External dependency
   • B. Internal dependency
   • C. Discretionary dependency
   • D. Mandatory dependency
   Show answer

   Correct: A. External dependencies involve relationships between project activities and non-project activities outside the team's control (such as vendor delivery). Internal dependencies are within team control, mandatory are hard logic, and discretionary are best-practice preferences.

3. During an IT infrastructure upgrade, a stakeholder requests adding five additional remote branch offices to the rollout after the project scope was baseline-approved. The project manager explains that this unmanaged addition is an example of:

   • A. Scope creep
   • B. Gold plating
   • C. Scope decomposition
   • D. Progressive elaboration
   Show answer

   Correct: A. Scope creep refers to uncontrolled expansion of project scope without adjustment to time, cost, or resources. Gold plating is adding unrequested features by the team, scope decomposition breaks work into WBS, and progressive elaboration refines details iteratively.

4. Requirements for a legacy system migration project are fully understood upfront, strictly regulated, and unlikely to change. The customer requests full delivery at final release following detailed upfront design. Which development methodology is most appropriate?

   • A. Predictive (Waterfall) methodology
   • B. Agile iterative delivery
   • C. Scrum sprint methodology
   • D. Kanban flow framework
   Show answer

   Correct: A. Predictive (Waterfall) methodology is best when requirements are fully defined upfront and scope changes are rare. Agile, Scrum, and Kanban are adaptive frameworks designed for fast-changing or uncertain requirements.

5. An agile software team meets every two weeks to deliver a working software increment to stakeholders. What is this fixed time period called in Scrum?

   • A. Sprint iteration
   • B. Project milestone
   • C. Phase gate review
   • D. Work package unit
   Show answer

   Correct: A. A Sprint is a fixed-length iteration (typically 1–4 weeks) in Scrum during which a usable increment of product is created. Milestones, phase gates, and work packages belong to traditional project management terminology.
