Three of the 517 questions in this pack

Question 1

Once the make-or-buy analysis is completed, which document defines the project delivery method?

  1. Procurement statement of work (SOW)
  2. Procurement strategy
  3. Terms of reference
  4. Change request
Show answer and explanation

Correct answer: B. Procurement strategy

The procurement strategy document defines the project delivery method after make-or-buy analysis is completed. It outlines the overall approach to procuring goods and services needed for the project, including whether to make or buy, and how to execute that decision.

Why the other options are wrong

  • A. The procurement statement of work describes what will be procured, not the overall delivery method strategy.
  • C. Terms of reference define the scope and authority of a project or function, not the procurement delivery method.
  • D. Change requests are used to modify existing project elements, not to define initial delivery methods.

Question 2

A project is just beginning, and management creates a long list of potential stakeholders.

Which statement about identifying and engaging stakeholder, is correct?

  1. The project manager should identify and deal with stakeholders only during the execution phase.
  2. Stakeholder satisfaction should be identified immediately and managed as a project objective.
  3. The project manager should focus on project objectives and deal with stakeholders as a secondary priority.
  4. Stakeholder satisfaction is the most important goal, and project objectives should be considered a secondary priority.
Show answer and explanation

Correct answer: B. Stakeholder satisfaction should be identified immediately and managed as a project objective.

immediately and managed as a project objective. Stakeholder satisfaction should be identified as a project objective immediately and managed throughout the project lifecycle. This ensures alignment between stakeholder expectations and project delivery from the outset.

Why the other options are wrong

  • A. Stakeholders must be identified and engaged from project initiation, not only during execution.
  • C. Stakeholders are not secondary; managing stakeholder expectations is integral to project success.
  • D. While stakeholder satisfaction is important, project objectives remain the primary goals that define project success.

Question 3

Which is an example of leveraging evolving trends and emerging practices in Project Integration Management?

  1. Hybrid methodologies
  2. Risk register updates
  3. Outsourced project resources
  4. Reliance on lessons learned documents
Show answer and explanation

Correct answer: A. Hybrid methodologies

Hybrid methodologies represent evolving trends in project management that combine elements of different approaches (such as waterfall and agile) to suit modern project needs. This is a current emerging practice in integration management.

Why the other options are wrong

  • B. Risk register updates are ongoing management activities, not examples of leveraging emerging trends.
  • C. Outsourced project resources reflect resourcing decisions, not emerging integration management practices.
  • D. Lessons learned documents are traditional project management tools, not evolving trends or emerging practices.

What makes the CAPM hard

The CAPM is no longer a memorisation exam. Rather than asking you to recite process groups, it sets a scenario and asks what the project manager should do, and it expects you to switch between predictive, agile and business analysis thinking from one question to the next.

The ground covered is wide: project life cycles and core concepts, critical path and predictive planning, sprint ceremonies and agile roles, requirements gathering and stakeholder communication. Candidates who prepared for the older definition-style CAPM are regularly caught out by the scenario and business analysis questions.

It is also a long sitting, 150 questions in 180 minutes, so the question style needs to feel routine before exam day. Business analysis alone is 27% of the exam, second only to fundamentals at 36%.

About the exam

The CAPM certifies foundational project management knowledge across predictive, agile and business analysis approaches. It is PMI’s entry-level credential and a common stepping stone towards the PMP. It requires a secondary degree plus 23 hours of project management education, and renews every three years with 15 PDUs.

Exam domains

  • Project management fundamentals and core concepts: 36%
  • Predictive, plan-based methodologies: 17%
  • Agile frameworks and methodologies: 20%
  • Business analysis frameworks: 27%

150 questions, 180 minutes, no published passing score, US$300 per attempt (US$225 for PMI members), online proctored or at a test centre, renews every three years.
