Q1.Observations of a team over four meetings are recorded below.
Which stage does meeting 3 represent?- A.Norming✓ Correct answer
- B.Storming
- C.Performing
- D.Forming
Explanation
Agreeing how decisions will be made is the establishment of working agreements, which is norming. Performing is the primary foil and is what meeting 4 shows: the team producing results with little leader involvement under the agreements norming produced.Reference: CQPA BoK I
Q2.Which statement best distinguishes verification from validation?
- A.Verification applies to processes, validation applies to products
- B.Verification is performed by the supplier, validation by the customer
- C.Verification confirms requirements were met, validation confirms the need was met✓ Correct answer
- D.Verification confirms the need was met, validation confirms requirements were met
Explanation
Verification asks whether the product was built to specification, while validation asks whether the specified product actually serves its intended use. The second option reverses the two definitions, which is the most frequent confusion in approval terminology.Reference: CQPA BoK IV
