You are on page 1/ 1

1.

You are the project manager of a software development firm that has just been awarded a project
by a government agency to develop a customized tax filing system. The client has very detailed
requirements and a fixed budget. However, your development team anticipates that the scope might
evolve slightly during the development phase due to changes in regulations.

You need to decide on the most suitable type of contract to sign with the client and manage the
contract throughout the project lifecycle.

Question:

Based on the scenario above,


a) Which type of contract would you recommend for this project and why?
b) What are the key activities involved in contract management that you, as a project manager, must
oversee during the project lifecycle?
c) How would your responsibilities differ if the project was instead contracted under a Time and
Material (T&M) contract?

2.You are managing a software development project for a startup that is launching a new mobile
banking application. The project is under a tight schedule and budget, and your team is using some
new, untested APIs for integrating third-party payment gateways. Halfway through development, one
of your key developers resigns, and you also discover that one of the third-party APIs is not
compliant with current data security standards.

Question:

a) Identify and classify the risks mentioned in the scenario (technical, human resource, compliance,
etc.).
b) Explain how you would perform qualitative and quantitative risk analysis for these risks.
c) Propose a risk response plan for each of the identified risks.
d) How would you monitor and control risks throughout the project to ensure successful delivery?

3.You are appointed as the project manager for developing an online examination system for a
university. The system should allow student registration, conduct timed exams, auto-evaluate
objective questions, and generate results. The university expects the system to be completed in 4
months, and the project must align with their academic calendar. You have a team of five developers,
one tester, and a limited budget.

Question:

a) Using the Stepwise Project Planning approach, outline how you would plan this project from
initiation to completion.
b) Identify what activities you would perform in each step of the Stepwise Planning model (such as
setting objectives, identifying project scope, estimating resources, scheduling, risk analysis, etc.).
c) Explain how you would handle any conflicts between time, cost, and quality during the planning
phase.
d) What tools or techniques would you use at each step to ensure a realistic and achievable project
plan?
