5. The sponsor of the Enterprise Project Management (EPM) initiative states that in the past, another consultant had tried to implement an EPM solution and had failed. The new initiative must maintain the original budget and schedule of the first initiative. He also states he has hired a new program manager. The program managers goal is to initiate any process changes required for improved project management. You interview the program manager and a group of project managers in the organization. You analyze the results and decide that the organization is at Level 3 of the Project Management Maturity Model. You must identify risks to the requirements of an effective EPM solution. What is the most likely risk?
A. There are no project management processes in place.
B. There is significant resistance to EPM from project managers.
C. There is an aggressive implementation schedule that cannot be met.
D. There is the expectation that technology will drive business process changes.
Answer: C

6. You are interviewing key stakeholders of the Enterprise Project Management (EPM) initiative at your organization.

The goal of this business process is to formally document change and obtain approval. You document the steps and rules that govern the process. Also, you note that only the project manager can submit a change request. Each change request must be approved or denied by the Project Management Office (PMO).

7. You interview a key stakeholder of an Enterprise Project Management (EPM) initiative. He states that project managers often have difficulty in collecting status when projects are under way.

8. You are the team leader on an Enterprise Project management (EPM) initiative. Your EPM team has documented a list of risks associated with the initiative. To prioritize these risks, the EPM team uses a scale for probability in percent of 0 to 100 and a numeric scale for impact of 1 (low) to 10 (high). The analysis is shown in the following table: RiskProbabilityImpactThere are no open racks in the server room.306There is resistance to EPM from project managers.607Limited production hardware is on back-order.458The training room has insufficient hardware.805 You need to create a master risk list. Which risk has the highest priority?
A. There are no open racks in the server room.
B. There is resistance to EPM from project managers.
C. Limited production hardware is on back-order.
D. The training room has insufficient hardware.
Answer: B

2. The sponsor of the Enterprise Project Management (EPM) initiative states that in the past, another consultant had tried to implement an EPM solution and had failed. He also states he has hired a new program manager. You interview the program manager and a group of project managers in the organization. You analyze the results and decide that the organization is at Level 1 of the Project Management Maturity Model. You also discover that the new program manager is not familiar with the Microsoft EPM technology. You must identify risks to the requirements of an effective EPM solution. What is the most likely risk?
