PMBOK Definitions: Processes And Process Groups

Instructions:
  • Answer 45 questions in 15 minutes.
  • If you are not ready to take this test, you can study here.
  • Match each statement with the correct term.
  • Don't refresh. All questions and answers are randomly picked and ordered every time you load a test.

This is a study tool. The 3 wrong answers for each question are randomly chosen from answers to other questions. So, you might find at times the answers obvious, but you will see it re-enforces your understanding as you take the test each time.

22. <Process Group> - Those processes performed to finalize all activities across all Project Management Process Groups to formally close the project or phase.






23. <Process Group> - Those processes performed to establish the total scope of the effort - define and refine the objectives - and develop the course of action required to attain those objectives.






24. The process of implementing risk response plans - tracking identified risks - monitoring residual risks - indentifying new risks and evaluating risk process throughout the project.
