A company has a strategic goal to expand into three new markets. To achieve this, they initiate: a project to develop a new product, a program to enter the European market (including product localization, marketing, and distribution), and a project to upgrade the company's website. How should these be categorized?

All three are projects because they have defined start and end dates.

The product development is a program; the website upgrade is a project; the European market entry is a portfolio.

The product development and website upgrade are projects; the European market entry is a program.

All three are programs because they support a strategic goal.

A project manager is asked by a stakeholder to exclude a known risk from the risk register to make the project look more favorable to senior management. What should the project manager do?

Exclude the risk and inform the project sponsor verbally.

Refuse to exclude the risk and explain the importance of transparency.

Exclude the risk but document it in a private log.

Comply with the stakeholder's request to maintain a good relationship.

A project manager is reviewing a scope statement that says: 'The project will deliver a new mobile app for customers to book appointments. The app must be easy to use and available on all major platforms.' The project manager is concerned about the phrase 'easy to use' and 'all major platforms.' What is the best way to address this concern?

Remove the phrase 'easy to use' and 'all major platforms' from the scope statement.

Define 'easy to use' with specific usability metrics and specify which platforms are included.

Add a note that 'all major platforms' means iOS and Android.

Assume 'easy to use' means the app will pass usability testing.
