Three of the 713 questions in this pack

Question 1

Your program has 121 stakeholders that you'll need to communicate with. Your communications management plan defines how the communication should happen, what should be communicated, and the expected modality of the communications. You'll also need which one of the following as an input to the information distribution process in your program?

  1. Change requests
  2. Earned value management results
  3. Stakeholder analysis plan
  4. Performance reports
Show answer and explanation

Correct answer: D. Performance reports

Information distribution takes the communications management plan, performance reports, and organizational process assets as its inputs. Performance reports are what carry status, progress, and forecast information to the 121 stakeholders, so they must be available before information can be distributed. Without them the plan describes how to communicate but there is nothing of substance to send.

Why the other options are wrong

  • A. Change requests flow through integrated change control and are not an input to distributing information.
  • B. Earned value results are an analytical output of performance measurement that may feed a report, but they are not themselves a defined input to information distribution.
  • C. There is no stakeholder analysis plan artifact in the communications framework; stakeholder analysis informs the communications management plan, which is already in place here.

Question 2

What is the formula to determine earned value (EV) for a program?

  1. Percent complete times percent remaining in the program
  2. Percent completes time the program cost estimate
  3. Percent complete times the program budget at completion
  4. Percent complete times the program cost of labor and materials
Show answer and explanation

Correct answer: C. Percent complete times the program budget at completion

completion Earned Value (EV) is calculated by multiplying the percent of work completed by the total program budget at completion (BAC). This gives the monetary value of the work actually accomplished to date. The formula is: EV = Percent Complete × Budget at Completion.

Why the other options are wrong

  • A. Percent complete times percent remaining produces a meaningless metric unrelated to earned value.
  • B. This formula is incomplete and does not represent the standard earned value calculation.
  • D. While labor and materials are part of the budget, the correct formula uses the total program budget at completion, not just labor and materials costs.

Question 3

Olive is the program manager for her organization. She has created a request for proposal for a large portion of her program. In this work to be procured she has set several requirements for the vendors to participate. The chief among these requirements is a vendor must have at least four licensed electricians in his team.

This requirement for four licensed electricians is an example of which one of the following terms?

  1. Screening system
  2. Scoring model
  3. Vendor analysis requirements
  4. Evaluation criteria
Show answer and explanation

Correct answer: A. Screening system

A screening system establishes minimum, pass or fail requirements that a seller must satisfy just to remain in consideration. Requiring at least four licensed electricians is exactly that kind of threshold: a vendor either meets it or is removed from the competition before any comparative rating occurs. Olive is filtering the field, not ranking proposals.

Why the other options are wrong

  • B. A scoring model is the weighted rating method used to compare proposals that have already cleared the minimum requirements.
  • C. Vendor analysis requirements is not recognized procurement terminology.
  • D. Evaluation criteria are the broader set of factors used to assess and rank competing proposals, while this single mandatory threshold is applied to screen sellers out.

What makes the PgMP hard

PgMP is one of PMI’s most prestigious credentials: the programme management step above the PMP, for experienced professionals who coordinate several related projects to deliver strategic business outcomes. It carries real weight for senior programme and portfolio roles.

The exam covers managing programmes end to end: strategic alignment, benefits and business alignment, stakeholder engagement, governance, and the full programme life cycle across multiple coordinated projects. It assumes substantial real-world programme leadership, not just project management knowledge.

One domain dominates. Program life cycle management is 44% of the exam, close to half, while business alignment is only 11%. Spreading study time evenly across the five domains wastes most of it, and the sitting is long: 170 questions in 240 minutes.

About the exam

It is intended for highly experienced programme managers, and your application goes through a panel review before you can sit the exam.

  • Program life cycle management: 44%
