Three of the 713 questions in this pack
Question 1
What is the formula to determine earned value (EV) for a program?
Show answer and explanation
Correct answer: C. Percent complete times the program budget at completion
Earned value is the budgeted value of the work actually performed, so it is calculated as EV = percent complete x budget at completion (BAC). For example, a program with a BAC of $2,000,000 that is 40 percent complete has earned $800,000 of value. Because EV is tied to the authorized cost baseline, it can be compared directly with planned value and actual cost to derive schedule and cost variances and the related performance indexes.
Why the other options are wrong
- A. Multiplying percent complete by percent remaining yields a meaningless ratio, not a monetary value of work performed.
- B. A cost estimate is not the authorized baseline; EV is always measured against the budget at completion.
- D. Labor and materials are only part of the cost picture, and EV uses the full budget at completion rather than selected cost categories.
Question 2
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?
Show answer and explanation
Correct answer: D. Evaluation criteria
Evaluation criteria are the standards written into the procurement documents that the buyer uses to judge sellers and their proposals, such as technical capability, qualified personnel, experience and cost. Requiring a vendor to field at least four licensed electricians is one such stated criterion: it defines a qualification every proposal is assessed against. Tools such as screening systems and scoring models are simply the mechanisms that apply these criteria during source selection, so the requirement itself is best classified as an evaluation criterion.
Why the other options are wrong
- A. A screening system is the mechanism that applies criteria to filter out sellers; the electrician requirement is the criterion being applied, not the system.
- B. A scoring model is a weighting method used to rate proposals numerically, not a requirement placed on vendors.
- C. Vendor analysis requirements is not a recognized procurement term and does not describe a criterion set in a request for proposal.
Question 3
You are the program manager for your organization. Management has asked you to create a document that will capture the stakeholders' concerns, perceived threats, and specific objectives about the program and its projects.
What document is management asking you to create in this instance?
Show answer and explanation
Correct answer: C. Business case
The business case documents the justification for the program and serves as the basis for the investment decision. It captures the stakeholders' needs, concerns and perceived threats, the specific objectives the program must achieve, high-level risks and opportunities, assumptions, constraints and the expected costs and benefits, and it shows how the program aligns with organizational strategy. Because management wants a single document that records what stakeholders expect from the program and its projects and what they fear about it, the business case is the document being requested.
Why the other options are wrong
- A. A requirements document records the detailed conditions the deliverables must satisfy, not stakeholder threats and program justification.
- B. A project charter authorizes a single project and is built from the business case rather than serving as the record of stakeholder concerns for the whole program.
- D. A scope statement describes the deliverables and work boundaries, not stakeholder concerns, perceived threats or program justification.

What makes the PgMP hard
PgMP is PMI's programme management credential, the 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 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 benefits 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
The PMI Program Management Professional (PgMP) validates advanced experience coordinating multiple related projects and their resources to achieve strategic objectives. It is intended for highly experienced programme managers, and your application goes through a panel review before you can sit the exam.
