One of the project tasks is new and unique. Neither you nor your company has
ever carried out such a task. Which of the following information gathering
technique is suitable for conclusively identifying risks associated with this new
task?
a.Delphi Technique
b.Brainstorming
c.Expert Judgment
d.Interviewing
Sample PMP® Exam Question
HINT: Neither you nor your company have any sort of
experience in carrying out similar activities. Consider choices A
and C since they involve subject matter experts. However, only
one is the best answer.

10. The correct answer is A
You can consider both Delphi Technique and Expert
Judgment as a good answer for this question.
However, the Delphi Technique is the better option
because the question asked you to conclusively
identify the risks. Expert Judgment will only give you
a list or risks as identified by one or more experts
without discussion. On the other hand, the Delphi
Technique is designed to result in a peer reviewed
list, which indicates a consensus among the
experts.

11. Which of the following estimating techniques is generally less costly
and less time-consuming?
a.Parametric Estimating
b.Analogous Estimating
c.Reserve Analysis
d.Bottom-Up Estimating
Sample PMP® Exam Question
HINT: Which technique will you rely on for
developing a quick but rough estimate?

12. The correct answer is B
Analogous Estimating is generally less costly and
less time-consuming than other techniques but it is
also generally less accurate. Analogous duration
estimates can be applied to a total project or to
segments of a project and may be used in
conjunction with other estimating methods.
Analogous Estimating is most reliable when the
previous activities are similar in fact and not just in
appearance, and the project team members
preparing the estimates have the necessary expert
judgment.
