PMPA case studies

The Project Management Professional Associate (PMPA) is a practice-oriented credential for people who run projects or are moving into a project leadership role: coordinators, team leads, junior project managers, and specialists who increasingly own deliverables and budgets. It tests whether you can apply the discipline of project management across the whole delivery life cycle rather than recite definitions. The eight published domains run from project fundamentals and the project environment through initiation and stakeholder engagement, planning and scope, schedule and cost, quality, resource and communications, risk and procurement, execution, monitoring and control, and finally closure and professional responsibility. Expect scenario-based multiple-choice items: you are given a short situation and asked what the project manager should do next, which artifact to consult, or which trade-off is soundest. The PMPA case studies are 5 cases and about 3,136 words.
