You are very interested in becoming a project manager. You have mentored with other experienced project managers in your organization to learn more about how to be an effective project manager. You’ve been told your organizational skills and communication skills are excellent. However, you need some additional training in accounting and budgeting skills, because you are weak in these general management areas. The mentor who was honest enough to tell you this explained it which of the following ways?

Select one

You will not be able to sit for the exam unless you get formal training in the general management areas.

General management skills are likely to affect project outcomes. If you lack any of these skills, it could affect your project and your career adversely, so you should get some training in these areas.

The Estimating Costs and Control Costs processes are under the Planning process group, and you will not be able to pass the questions on the PMP exam that pertain to these processes if you don’t get some training.

General management skills are important to your project outcomes, and Estimating Costs and Control Costs are two of the most important processes within the Executing phase of a project, so you should get some training in these areas.

During a project status meeting, you request updates to work tasks. One of your close friends accountable for the most critical milestone on the schedule notes that they are on track. Over wine the previous evening, the friend had confided that the task was two weeks behind schedule. What should you do as the project manager?

Select one

Throw your friend under the bus—after all, the wine was cheap and not worth it.

Immediately report the slip, along with the source of your information.

Give your friend an opportunity to report accurate status; if this does not occur, report accurately that a slippage has occurred.

Do nothing. Honoring friendship is far more important, and this is an opportunity to display trust.
