CAPM (Certified Associate in Project Management) Practice Exam

What are outputs of the 'Direct and Manage Project Work' process?

1. Project schedule, budget forecasts, and status reports

2. Risk registers, issue logs, and quality metrics

3. Deliverables, change requests, and work performance data

4. Stakeholder engagement plan, communications plan, and team charter

The correct answer is: Deliverables, change requests, and work performance data

The correct answer is C. In the 'Direct and Manage Project Work' process, the primary outputs are deliverables, change requests, and work performance data. Deliverables are the tangible results or outcomes of the project work, change requests are formal proposals to modify any document, deliverable, or baseline, and work performance data includes information on the project's progress which can be used for performance reports and decision-making. Options A, B, and D do not accurately represent the outputs of the 'Direct and Manage Project Work' process. Option A relates more to monitoring and controlling processes such as 'Control Schedule' and 'Control Costs', Option B relates more to risk management and quality management processes, and Option D relates more to the project planning processes such as 'Develop Project Management Plan' and 'Plan Stakeholder Engagement'.
