PMP Practice Questions 2026
Three free ECO-aligned questions with answers and rationale. Enroll for access to our full practice question bank and official mock exams.
Q1. A project manager discovers that a team member has been documenting meeting minutes incorrectly for the past three weeks. What should the project manager do first?
- A. Report the issue to the team member's functional manager
- B. Update the lessons learned register
- C. Discuss the issue directly with the team member
- D. Escalate to the project sponsor
Rationale
PMI expects direct, respectful communication first. Escalation is premature before addressing the issue with the individual concerned.
Q2. A Scrum team's velocity has dropped by 30% over the last two sprints. The product owner wants to add more user stories to the next sprint. What should the Scrum master do?
- A. Accept the request — the product owner controls the backlog
- B. Facilitate a discussion about current impediments and capacity
- C. Reject the request and escalate to the project manager
- D. Reduce sprint length to improve velocity
Rationale
The Scrum master's role is to facilitate, remove impediments, and protect the team. Blindly adding stories or escalating skips diagnosis.
Q3. During project execution, a key stakeholder raises a concern that was not captured in the stakeholder register. What is the BEST course of action?
- A. Ignore it — unregistered stakeholders have no formal standing
- B. Update the stakeholder register and assess the impact on project plans
- C. Add the concern to the issue log and close it at project completion
- D. Inform the sponsor and wait for their decision
Rationale
Stakeholder management is continuous. The register must be updated when new stakeholders or concerns emerge, and their impact assessed promptly.
