Example:

You are a project manager for a national consumer goods retailer. Currently, you are about to start the development of the assumption log for a project to build a new retail store. What should you do first?

A. Read the project business case

B. Start the Identify Stakeholders process as the assumption log is an output of this process

C. Review the project scope statement

D. Examine the project management plan

Explanation: The assumption log is a project document used to record all assumptions and constraints throughout the project life cycle. The assumption log is created as an output of the Develop Project Charter process, as such limited information is available to create this project document. High-level strategic and operational assumptions and constraints are normally identified in the business case before the project is initiated and will flow into the project charter. Lower-level activity and task assumptions are generated throughout the project. The assumption log is used to record all assumptions and constraints throughout the project life cycle. Therefore, of the available options, the project business case is the best source of information to use in the development of the assumption log.

With our experience, if you passed the 180 questions test with above 80% for 4 times within 3 hours 30 minutes, you are confident to register and take the PMI examination for the certificate.

PMP Exam Details
The PMP exam is designed to objectively assess and measure project management knowledge. Concepts covered in the PMP exam are directly derived from the PMBOK® Guide, an internationally recognized standard (IEEE Std 1490-2003) which outlines project management fundamentals; and is applicable to a wide range of industries.

The actual exam is offered in both a computer-based testing (CBT) environment, as well as through proctored paper-based exams. A summary of the exam structure and passing requirements are as follows:

There are 180 total multiple-choice questions which make up the PMP exam
25 randomly placed "pretest questions" are included, and do not count towards the pass/fail determination
Individuals have four hours to complete the exam
Only correct answers count, and a passing score is determined by “sound psychometric analysis”. This method indicates that scores reflect the difficulty of the questions answered.
For the purposes of this book, a numeric scoring system will be applied, allowing students to easily measure their knowledge.
