Question 1 of 10

What never goes in
Question 1. You are about to paste the stakeholder register - names, phone numbers, notes on who is difficult - into an assistant to turn it into a table. What do you do first?

Pick one, then check the answer.

Check the answer

Best answer

BReplace the names with roles and remove the phone numbers.

Next question

Why, option by option

  1. A. A temporary chat is for a one-off question you have decided is fine to ask. The names still went out.
  2. B. The table works exactly as well with "sponsor" and "site engineer" as with names, and no personal data has left the building.
  3. C. Signing in gives you controls you should have anyway. Deleting afterwards is not the same as not sending.
  4. D. Names with anything attached - a phone number, an opinion - are personal data under the law, and the register has both.

Explained on What never goes in.

Question 2 of 10

Question 2. A colleague says the assistant "gave them rubbish" for a status report. You look: they typed "write a status report" into a signed-out browser tab. What is the first thing you would change?

Pick one, then check the answer.

Check the answer

Best answer

CSign in, open the app, upload last week’s report and this week’s notes, then ask for the update.

Next question

Why, option by option

  1. A. Longer wording on top of nothing is still nothing. It had no report to update and no notes to update it from.
  2. B. None of the four knows the project. Each answers from what is in front of it, which was one sentence.
  3. C. Signed in, in the app, with the documents in front of it: the same request produces a draft in the board’s own format.
  4. D. The report is the job it does best - once it has the report.

Question 3 of 10

Four ways to ask
Question 3. You want the assistant to answer in Macedonian unless you write in English, keep answers short, and ask before assuming - in every conversation, for every project. Where does that go?

Pick one, then check the answer.

Check the answer

Best answer

BIn the custom instructions (or the equivalent) in your account settings.

Next question

Why, option by option

  1. A. It works and it is what most people do; it is also the manual version of a feature all four have.
  2. B. Standing preferences for how it always behaves are what custom instructions are for. A project’s own instructions can override them for that project.
  3. C. A project’s instructions apply to that project. These three preferences apply to everything.
  4. D. Memory holds small facts and preferences it picks up; it is not where you write the rules.

Explained on Four ways to ask.

Question 4 of 10

Context
Question 4. You ask for ten project-specific risks and get twelve that would fit any project ever run. What was missing?

Pick one, then check the answer.

Check the answer

Best answer

BThe charter and the WBS, in front of it, before you asked.

Next question

Why, option by option

  1. A. Any of the four produces the same list from the same nothing.
  2. B. Context: it knows what you put in the conversation and nothing else. The charter is what makes the risks this project’s.
  3. C. It cannot be specific about a project it has not seen, however you phrase the ask.
  4. D. A generic list costs more to make specific than a specific list costs to check.

Explained on Context.

Question 5 of 10

Trust, but check
Question 5. The draft cites "PMBOK Guide, section 4.3.2" for a sentence that suits your argument perfectly. Before the report goes out you:

Pick one, then check the answer.

Check the answer

Best answer

COpen the guide, find the section and the sentence, and cut the citation if they are not there.

Next question

Why, option by option

  1. A. Specific and confident is exactly how an invented citation reads.
  2. B. It will say yes. The author grading its own work is not verification.
  3. C. Every quote opened, every number traced. That is the check, and it takes two minutes.
  4. D. The sentence may be invented too; removing the reference only makes it harder to check.

Explained on Trust, but check.

Question 6 of 10

What never goes in
Question 6. Your company provides an assistant under its own agreement. You also have a personal free account you like better. For the client’s statement of work, which do you use?

Pick one, then check the answer.

Check the answer

Best answer

BThe company’s tool - after checking that the document is allowed into it at all.

Next question

Why, option by option

  1. A. Same idea, different contract. The client’s document under your personal free account is outside the employer’s agreement and inside the free tier’s limits.
  2. B. Employer first: it sits under the employer’s contract. And the confidentiality question comes before the tool question.
  3. C. The training switch matters and is not the same thing as a contract with your employer.
  4. D. They can, with room to spare on the plans built for it. Which plan is exactly the point.

Explained on What never goes in.

Question 7 of 10

What never goes in
Question 7. A team member offers to run the client’s sixty-page tender through their personal free account tonight. Their argument: "it is free and I have it on my phone." What is wrong with the plan?

Pick one, then check the answer.

Check the answer

Best answer

CTwo things: the tender is probably confidential, and a personal free account is the wrong place for work material - little room, no projects, no contract.

Next question

Why, option by option

  1. A. Deleting afterwards does not undo the sending, and a personal free account is neither under contract nor built for sixty pages.
  2. B. When it is done changes nothing about where the document went.
  3. C. The free tiers are for learning. For work: is it allowed out at all; then the employer’s tool; then a paid plan under an agreement.
  4. D. The phone is fine. The account and the document are the problem.

Explained on What never goes in.

Question 8 of 10

Trust, but check
Question 8. The assistant’s meeting summary assigns three actions to a person who was not in the meeting. Why did that happen, most likely?

Pick one, then check the answer.

Check the answer

Best answer

BThe notes did not name an owner, and it guessed rather than leave a blank.

Next question

Why, option by option

  1. A. Possible, but the usual cause is simpler: the notes did not say who owned the actions, and it filled the gap.
  2. B. It does not say "I don’t know". Ask for "not assigned" where the notes are silent, and check every owner.
  3. C. It reads what is in the conversation. If last week’s minutes were there, that is context you gave it.
  4. D. It is behaving as designed. The fix is in the request and in the check, not in a support ticket.

Explained on Trust, but check.

Question 9 of 10

PMBOK and PMI
Question 9. A member studying for the exam asks which assistant to use for questions about PMI’s standards. The best answer:

Pick one, then check the answer.

Check the answer

Best answer

BPMI’s own assistant, grounded in PMI’s standards and included in membership; the general assistants for everything else.

Next question

Why, option by option

  1. A. They have read the public internet, which is not the standards, and they invent on PMI material as confidently as anywhere.
  2. B. The one product the chapter can recommend: it answers from PMI content, cites its sources, and a member pays nothing extra.
  3. C. The guide is the reference for the check, not a reason to give up the tool.
  4. D. Recency says nothing about whether an answer is grounded in PMI’s content.

Explained on PMBOK and PMI.

Question 10 of 10

Four ways to ask
Question 10. You have one real project and you ask about it most days. Which set-up saves the most time over a month?

Pick one, then check the answer.

Check the answer

Best answer

BOne project workspace: the charter, the WBS and the last report uploaded once, the instructions written once.

Why, option by option

  1. A. It works; it is the manual version of a workspace, and it uses up the room the chat has for today’s material.
  2. B. One project per project. From then on every question is already in context and Monday’s message is "here are this week’s notes".
  3. C. Those apply to every chat, including the ones about other things. They are for behaviour, not for one project’s facts.
  4. D. Memory is for small preferences and facts about you, and is the place to be most careful about what goes in.
