Microsoft-Managing Programs and Projects with Project Server 2013 Set 1

Your organization is performing a Portfolio Analysis in Project Server 2013. You want to create a consolidated Portfolio Analysis optimization based on Cost and Resource data, which will be part of the project information in Project Server 2013. You plan to provide different simulations to your organization by using those parameters and returning the best prioritization. This organization has two different unit directors, who have the final decision on the consolidated Portfolio Analysis results. You need to provide the ability for your unit directors to modify the final portfolio selection. Which element should you use?

You are a project manager in an organization that uses Project Server 2013. All project managers have permission to edit all projects. You edit a project in Project Web App (PWA), make changes, publish the project, and close your browser. A project manager calls you to report they are unable to open your project for edit in PWA. You need to resolve this issue. What should you do?

Your organization is a multinational corporation that uses Project Online to plan and control the projects in different business units. Each business unit has its own portfolio of projects but can participate in strategic projects. The Research and Development (R&D) department has been struggling to gather and materialize the new ideas. The Project Management Office (PMO) has the necessary templates and Enterprise Project Types (EPTs) to start a formal process for any new product and to adhere to the general guidelines. However, the R&D group does not want to register all of their ideas since many are related to improvements and few of them could be materialized into projects. You need to generate a solution that allows R&D to gather their ideas and facilitate the materialization into Enterprise Projects. What should you do?

Your organization uses Project Online for project portfolio selection. The business drivers and priorities are set, as are the main constraints to identify the efficient frontier. The company has been collecting business cases for new proposals in which many projects may solve the same business need. For example, the selection for a Customer Relationship Management system has six different proposals, whereas only one is necessary to fulfill the business need. You need to guarantee that the analysis will produce the most viable proposal in terms of cost and resources and that no repetitive efforts exist in the portfolio selection. What should you do?

You are a program manager for an organization that uses Project Server 2013. You are responsible for implementing a data warehouse that compiles relational data from many business areas. Your project managers need to be able to manage the implementation for a business area as separate projects, while still recognizing the dependencies at a program level. You need to maintain ownership and authority of key program dates at the program level. What should you do?

Your work in a multinational corporation which uses Project Server 2013 to plan and control projects in different business units. Each business unit has its own portfolio of projects but can participate in strategic projects. The Project Management Office (PMO) has configured Enterprise Project Types (EPTs) to create new products, launch marketing campaigns, and deploy new lines of business tools to comply with the governance processes. One of your roles is to identify new products. A local team in Singapore produces an effective idea for a new product. You need to create a business case for the next portfolio analysis. You need to gather general information about the new product by efficiently collaborating with the local team. What should you do?

Your organization has implemented Project Server 2013 to plan and control enterprise projects. Your organization plans to perform a Portfolio Analysis for the first time on the Selection of Projects to be done the next year. Business drivers, as well as a pair wise comparison of those business drivers to set the business priorities, is the chosen method. Your organization has provided you with a total of 35 business drivers, 30 of which are related in some way. You need to return with a valid set of drivers and prioritization to perform the analysis. What should you do?

A company deploys Project Server 2013 to perform a Portfolio Analysis, which they will use to select the projects they will execute in the next fiscal period. The company establishes the criteria to evaluate the portfolio components, and all business cases must be evaluated under these parameters. When configuring Project Server 2013, the Project Management Office (PMO) finds that the established criteria contain both qualitative and quantitative elements, such as corporate reputation and internal rate of return (IRR). You need to provide a system calculated approach to rank your strategic initiatives against each other. Which two actions should you perform? (Each correct answer presents part of the solution. Choose two.)

You are a program manager who uses Project Server 2013 and Project Professional 2013. You have administrative rights. Your project managers create subprojects for your program-level master project. You insert the subprojects into your master project file by using Project Professional 2013. You are unable to save the master project file. You need to ensure that your master project file appears with its subprojects when you use the Project Web App (PWA). What should you do?

Your organization uses Project Server 2013. Your environment's default task mode is auto scheduled. Your environment allows manually scheduled tasks to be displayed in Project Web App (PWA). You create a detailed enterprise project with resources assigned to auto scheduled tasks. Your project has three phases, but only the first two phases have been approved to begin work. You need to ensure resources cannot provide status on phase three assignments. What should you do?
