Question 1 of 30
1. Question
Suppose a coordinator uses a questionnaire to ask for suggestions on an issue to which experts of that subject respond anonymously. All the answers are compiled and recirculated by the facilitator back to the experts. With no discrimination, they can get a consensus in a couple of rounds of this process. We refer to this technique of obtaining data as:
Correct
Delphi method: This refers to a technique for collecting information used by professionals to achieve a consensus while anonymously discussing their thoughts and interests. It is a group exercise designed to define specifications for projects (including products).

Question 2 of 30
2. Question
Which method of collecting data entails projecting several ideas around a core or central theme in order to uncover similarities and discrepancies between ideas and produce new integrated ideas?
Correct
Idea/mind mapping: In order to discover correlations and inconsistencies between ideas and create new integrated concepts, Idea/mind mapping involves projecting many ideas around a center or central theme. Mapping also helps by exploring associations within the ideas to divide them into categories. We also use this approach in other fields, besides project management, such as medical, family, and education. It helps to sum up, explain, and update concepts.

Question 4 of 30
4. Question
A prototype is a product’s operating concept put together prior to the creation of the final product. Which assertion does not accurately define the nature/merits of the prototype?
Correct
Typically, companies make prototypes for the development of proof of concept. They can also be used by testing the project to gather specifications/requirements and enable stakeholders to connect with it and provide recommendations. Based on input from the stakeholders, designs may be enhanced and updated. In this way, prototypes support the incremental production phase in the development of specifications. It does not monitor the fundamental benefit system of configuration development.

Question 7 of 30
7. Question
The traceability matrix of requirements is a table that tracks each requirement back to its root, such as a target for a product or company, and records its development over the life of the project. Why is monitoring/tracking the specifications during the project’s lifecycle important?
Correct
Linking a requirement to the goal of the company serves to highlight its worth. It ensures that it would be delivered before the completion of the project. This table is also a very valuable guide to remind the team of how important these specifications are, when they will be enforced, and how they are advancing with their execution.

Question 26 of 30
26. Question
Which of the following does not constitute as an example of a milestone?
Correct
A milestone is a crucial moment (or event) in the life of a project, and a milestone in the timeline is a milestone in the project timeline. An achievement corresponds to the conclusion of an activity, probably marking the completion of a series of operations, and thus has a period of none. The completion of a major product is an example of a landmark. A correlation in the project timetable between two responsibilities is not a milestone since a correlation cannot be regarded as a significant event/moment of a project.
