Program DPro

Welcome to the Program DPro Practice / Sample Test.

This test allows you to practice a few questions of a DPro the certification exam. It helps to get into contact with the real exam questions (similar - not same questions). At the end of the practice test, you will be able to check your results and the correct answers.

You will also be invited to take a full practice / sample exam at a platform that has the same design, environment, and features. The full practice is important as it also tests your device for compatibility with the real exam platform.

Important notes:

Questions on this sample exam ARE NOT the same of the actual exam. These questions provide an overall idea of type of questions that you will find in the actual exam.
This is a practice exam - it is not valid as a DPro certification and it does not grant you any certificate or other document.
We recommend that you also take the Sample Exam at the PM4NGOs Sample Exams Platform.

10 / 10

What does a Program Manager do to ensure that the scope of a program is controlled effectively throughout its lifecycle?

The scope of a program is less relevant when a donors has already committed additional funding to a program

Use an iterative process to control program scope, ensuring that any proposed change to a program is submitted to key stakeholders for authorization

If scope ‘creep’ is controlled at a project level, it won’t be an issue at a program level

It is never possible to fully control a ‘creep’ in program scope, so not a major concern
