Question 1 -
A common Kanban would help because both you and your supplier will have visibility on the progress of the work.
In case if you miss to attend the meetings, you will still be able to see the progress, track the tasks and follow up on the impediments.

Option B: Since the 40% of the project is yet to be completed, product owner can work on the refinement of the product by involving the legal team in order to avoid patent issues

Option B: The statement clearly states that the alterations proposed by project sponsor is disregarding the legal requirements. It is important to consult legal team for guidance before going ahead and make change

Option B & D: This will increase visibility on progress and understand deliverables for both software development and IT integrations

Option A. How the activities are well defined and delivered is most important in creating the WBS

Avoid = Option 2
Smooth = Option 3
Compromise = Option 1
Problem Solve = Option 4

Option A and C: As written out in the question, 30% of the work was expected to be completed as opposed to 20% which is clearly behind the schedule. Budget is of $100000 whereas only $15000 is spent for 20% of the work

Option D: It is clearly stated in the question that the unavailability of the key resource will impact the schedule and budget of the project. It is very important to keep stakeholders informed about this impact and submit a change request

Analogous Estimating = Option 3
Parametric Estimating = Option 4
THree-point = Option 2
Bottom Up Estimating: Option 1

Option A & B: As already defined in the question these are highly skilled engineers but there is a change in their duties which has led to low productivity. What team needs is motivation and look creative ways to enhance their productivity

Option A: The agile team cannot make decision for a change without approval since there is a food authorities requirement. Though the solution looks best but it needs approval to move ahead quickly within the short timeline

Predictive Life Cycle = Option 2
Iterative life cycle = Option 3
Incremental Life Cycle = Option 1
Hybrid Life Cycle = Option 4

Option C & D: I as a project manager would go back to the member who attempted to solve the longstanding problem and do the analysis on what went wrong with the implementation. Once after knowing the reason of the problem, take it up with the team as a lesson learned to avoid similar issue in future

Option A: Finish to Start. Team cannot start testing until all requirements are finished. Starting the testing is dependent on finishing the requirements

Option D: It is good to establish understanding on success criteria with the customer. When the definition of Done is written out clearly and the product meets the requirement, the customer is aware that the product is built as per requirement

Option A: Creating a common Kanban could work well where both you and your supplier have visibility on the progress. In case if you miss to attend few meetings you would still be able to track the tasks and follow up.
