PMHUB-G PMP Exam Question: Milestone will be delayed, what to do? Your opinion?

A reader has posted a comment on the Question 36 of Crosswind PMP Exam Question
The link: 

The question and its answer is also posted at the bottom of this mail foir your reference
What is your opinion on the comment?

Hi,
Had a look on the Crosswind simulation exam samples and I am not quite convinced by your answer on question 36.
It says that the PM has discovered that the deliverables due in a 1 week time should be delayed.Then you should brainstorm with your team and see how to create a workaround.

A workaround is used only when the risk HAS OCCURED which is not the case!The risk has been DISCOVERED so you can be proactive and then plan how to respond to risk
In this case, we would brainstorm and see how to respond to risk on a contingency plan if this risk has not been identified during the initial Plan Risk Response or risk reassessment if we are in Control Risk.

Thank you for your feedback.
Rgds,
BGA


This is Question 36:

36. A project manager is in the execution phase of a highly visible project and a major milestone is due in one week. The project manager has discovered that a vendor's deliverable for this milestone will be two weeks late. What should the project manager do?

(A)Do not report this problem in the status meeting

(B)Meet with the team and brainstorm how to create a workaround for this problem

(C)Halt all payments to the vendor until the deliverable is received

(D)Report the status of the missed milestone

36. Correct Answer: (B) Meet with the team and brainstorm how to create a workaround for this problem

Explanation: Meeting with the team and brainstorming how to create a workaround for this problem is the first step the project manager should try. Reporting the status of the missed milestone is the second option. Failure to report this problem in the status meeting violates professional and social responsibility on reporting accurate information. Halting all payments to the vendor puts your company in default of a signed contract.

[Crosswind Manual 14.1.3; No PMBOK Guide Reference]

PMHUB-G Is this a good way to start your PMP Exam project?

"Two years back, I joined many PMP groups just to gather the info regarding the exam. And I was silently following mails from you people. I read nearly 40 or 50 LL?s and most of them I read more than once and noted down important things. Somehow felt this has helped me a lot. When I took membership, I didn't have any questions, by then, I knew what exactly was needed to cross the line, that was the use of these groups. At the time when I was thinking it's going to be an "operation" instead of "project", said IT'S ENOUGH, I took the exam date exactly 55 days before the D-day.'

PMHUB-G Word of Wisdom for today

 Glossary is an excellent way to revise for the exams. Try that as much as you can. If you have soft copy of many books try the glossary for PMBOK, Rita and then on the other books to verify your knowledge. Some words like "Tailoring", "Tornado diagram" will not appear in Rita but it appears in PMBOK and appeared few times in the actual exam If you are one of those guys who cannot buy expensive flash cards then the simplest way that worked for me is get to the index of PMBOK. You will surely see more than 20 items that you never came across before. This is an important trick to verify. Please try this and you will find its importance. (Mukundan)

PMHUB-G What is PMI-ACP?

First things first — What does PMI-ACP stand for? 
PMI-ACP is the PMI® certification that "recognizes an individual's expertise in using agile practices in their projects, while demonstrating their increased professional versatility through agile tools and techniques". (Project Management Institute). In other words, once you pass the PMI-ACP, you are then considered a PMI Agile Certified Practitioner.  Passing the PMI-ACP Exam indicates to employers and others both inside and outside the Agile Community that you have demonstrated  experience working on Agile projects, and knowledge of Agile practices, principles, tools, and techniques.

PMHUB-G PMP Exam Tips and Tricks

From:

"Passed PMP Exam on Jan 31st on my 2nd attempt  Understanding PMI-isms are extremely important!!! I think this is why I failed the first time. You can't go in with the experience that you have in your current job. (Quoted from an LL by a PMP who succeed the second time around Jan 31, 2009)"
- Gold plating is a sin
– PM skills is transferable to any industry, you do not need industry-related skills (frankly this is not true in reality)
– Confrontation/problem solving is the best way in conflict resolution
– PM is the most important job in the world
– PM is proactive – managing change, a powerful decision maker, spent >90% of his/her time communicating
- Scope, roles and responsibilities need to be clearly defined
- WBS WBS WBS

Tips in Answering Exam Questions
1) Some questions have extra/unnecessary information – just ignore those.
2. always choose the best answer for all the possible right answer, eliminate those that are wrong. Each question has only one correct answer.  Read all the options before you select  just one.
3) Answer the questions from a PMI perspective.  Dispel your own perspective, or experience. The exam is based on PMI's world, not the real world.
4) Beware of answer choices that represent generalizations, which may be characterized by words such as always, never, must, or completely.  These are often the incorrect choices.
5) Look out for choices that represent special cases. These choices tend to be correct and are characterized by words such as often, sometimes, may, generally, and perhaps.
6)  The right option is the right option – even though the grammar might not be 100% correct.
