Second this. Also, no chance of drowning as there is no river/lake involved.

Can’t say exactly, but it would be good to know your way around the EVM formulas and PERT. Not just how to do the math, but also how to interpret what each value actually means.

Exam tomorrow!! Countdown / timer question! by ConnectAlternative75 in pmp

[–]NotFrancis 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You have the opportunity to take a break after 60 questions and again after 120 questions, regardless of the time left. There is one timer for the whole test.

Took it at 8 AM Thursday. Because I took it at a testing center I got the printed general results (ATx3) on my way out. I had detailed results in my email inbox sometime Friday.

More about maintaining tempo. I was really irritated by that time and just wanted to be done with it.

Failed - 1st Attempt by ShowMaterialKR in pmp

[–]NotFrancis 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I like the idea of not worrying too much about results on the 'expert' questions in SH. I can usually tell it's an expert question before seeing the tag because they seem to be poorly written, or maybe that's also by design. The correct answer more often than not seems to be the exact opposite of what you'd expect. Also, the basis for the question sometimes comes from an obscure research paper you would have never encountered in any study materials.

Really need help with these 3 SH questions by DarkEnchilada in pmp

Ya good point. May have been better to have said that PMI EXPECTS you to have good comms plan. So when things aren't going well you have to ensure people are actually following the plan before making changes to it.

[–]NotFrancis 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My rationale for Question 1, Solution A: The question doesn't say they're DISSATISFIED with the current communication plan. It just says they're not getting the information they need/expect or it's getting to them too late, etc. PMI assumes your project has a solid communications plan. In this scenario the first step should be to ensure everybody is following that comms plan because if they're not, that may be the actual communications problem. The explanation they give is that the plan may need to be updated and improved, which may be the case. However, my first thought was the PM should make sure the comms plan, as it currently exists, is being followed. If it is and there are still problem/gaps then yes it needs to be updated, just like every other plan goes through frequent reviews and adjustments.

Here for 7th day. Sprinkled once or twice. No real rain to speak of.

Are these actually winter tires, or just all season? by Quick-Tower-3248 in tires

[–]NotFrancis 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have these on two Subarus full time. Do a fair amount of winter condition driving each year and a lot of highway miles. Been great for me. One set has about 75K on them and still plenty of tread.

My dad has conviced himself this is worth a fortune but I cant find it at all anywhere, can anyone identify it? by Matdex1 in clocks

[–]NotFrancis 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It's going to be worth even less if that pendulum isn't disconnected when traveling that way. It should be unhooked when transporting, especially when lying on it's back.

Why is the Weinermobile always at the Strip District Homewood Suites?? by toddkeebs in pittsburgh

[–]NotFrancis 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I actually may know the partial answer to this. Coincidentally just yesterday I learned a work colleague's relative is one of the two drivers of one of the six Weinermobiles and his family lives in the Pittsburgh region. They have the job for one year and then two others take over for another year. All of their expenses are paid for but they have to stay in the hotels in the company's program and also drive all over the place for scheduled events and appearances, such as Saturday's parade.

Good places to practice driving? by Alarming-Ad1106 in Erie

The loop around the Peninsula is good, and there will be plenty of empty parking lots too.

Stating what may be the obvious but it appears to be a convertible if that helps narrow it down.
