What is the primary goal of project scope management?

To eliminate all changes to the project after initiation

To maximize the number of features delivered regardless of cost

To delegate scope decisions entirely to the project team

To ensure the project includes all the required work and only the required work

A project manager is leading a project to implement multi-factor authentication (MFA) across the organization. The project requires a network engineer to configure the MFA server, a help desk analyst to support user enrollment, and a security analyst to test the integration. The network engineer is also assigned to another project that is behind schedule. What is the most appropriate action for the project manager to ensure the MFA project stays on track?

Delay the MFA project until the network engineer is available from the other project.

Assign the help desk analyst to perform the network engineer's configuration tasks.

Ask the network engineer to work overtime to complete the MFA configuration tasks.

Negotiate with the other project manager to adjust the network engineer's priorities and secure the needed time for the MFA project.

What is the primary objective of project cost management?

To maximize the project's return on investment at all costs

To eliminate all cost overruns by avoiding any changes

To minimize all costs regardless of project quality

To complete the project within the approved budget

What is a key technique for motivating project team members?

Keeping team members unaware of project goals

Assigning all tasks without input from team members

Recognizing and rewarding good performance

Focusing only on negative feedback
