Question 1 of 29
1. Question
Turk Telekom is considering launching a new 5G-based smart home service. As a project manager, which of the following approaches would be the MOST effective in ensuring the successful planning and execution of this project, while mitigating potential risks and maximizing its market potential?
Correct
The most effective approach involves a combination of proactive planning, clear communication, and collaborative decision-making.

Collaboratively making decisions regarding scope changes, resource reallocations, or timeline adjustments based on the project’s progress and emerging challenges ensures flexibility and adaptability. Finally, documenting all decisions, changes, and lessons learned throughout the project lifecycle provides valuable insights for future projects. This approach aligns with Turk Telekom’s values of innovation, collaboration, and accountability.

Question 2 of 29
2. Question
A project manager at Turk Telekom, AyÅŸe, is facing a critical week. A major client, Vodafone, is expecting a network upgrade to be completed by Friday. Simultaneously, an internal compliance audit, mandated by BDDK (Banking Regulation and Supervision Agency), is scheduled for Thursday. AyÅŸe’s team is also looking forward to a team-building event planned for Wednesday to boost morale after a demanding quarter. Unexpectedly, two key team members call in sick on Monday. AyÅŸe discovers that completing both the network upgrade and preparing for the audit by their respective deadlines is now impossible with the reduced workforce. Vodafone calls to emphasize the importance of meeting the Friday deadline. Which of the following actions should AyÅŸe prioritize, considering Turk Telekom’s values of customer focus, compliance, and teamwork?
Correct
In a rapidly evolving telecommunications landscape, Turk Telekom’s success hinges on its employees’ ability to adapt and collaborate effectively. This scenario assesses the candidate’s capability to balance competing priorities, maintain team morale, and navigate ambiguous situations while upholding ethical standards. The key is to prioritize tasks based on strategic importance and potential impact on customer satisfaction, while also ensuring transparency and open communication with the team. The candidate should also consider the ethical implications of each decision and prioritize the long-term interests of the company and its stakeholders. The best approach involves re-evaluating the project timelines, communicating proactively with the client about potential delays, and re-allocating resources strategically to meet the most critical deadlines. This response demonstrates adaptability, leadership, and a commitment to both customer satisfaction and ethical conduct. It also shows an understanding of the importance of teamwork and open communication in navigating challenging situations. Delaying the internal audit, while seemingly expedient, carries significant risk and violates ethical standards and compliance regulations. Ignoring the client’s request is unacceptable. Canceling the team-building event, while impacting morale, is a less risky option than compromising compliance or ignoring the client. However, it should be communicated carefully and alternative morale-boosting activities should be considered.

A few are highly proficient with the latest digital tools, while others are more comfortable with traditional methods. To foster a cohesive and productive team environment that respects individual preferences and maximizes overall effectiveness, what comprehensive strategy should Ayşe prioritize?
Correct
The most effective approach involves a multi-pronged strategy.

Question 4 of 29
4. Question
A cross-functional team at Turk Telekom is tasked with developing a new marketing campaign for a bundled internet and TV service. The marketing team favors a humorous and edgy campaign, while the sales team believes a more traditional and informative approach would be more effective. As the project manager, what is the MOST effective way to resolve this conflict and build consensus?
Correct
Building consensus and fostering collaboration are essential for effective teamwork. A leader who can navigate conflicting viewpoints and facilitate constructive dialogue will be more successful in achieving team goals. Ignoring dissenting opinions can lead to resentment and undermine team cohesion. Forcing a decision without considering alternative perspectives can result in suboptimal outcomes. Simply deferring to the most senior team member can stifle creativity and innovation. The best approach is to create a safe space for team members to express their opinions, actively listen to all perspectives, and work together to find a solution that addresses the concerns of all stakeholders. This approach demonstrates both leadership and a commitment to teamwork.

Question 5 of 29
5. Question
AyÅŸe, a team lead at Türk Telekom, is tasked with implementing a new CRM system aimed at improving customer service efficiency. The team, accustomed to the existing system, expresses strong resistance, citing concerns about increased workload during the transition, potential data loss, and a perceived lack of training. AyÅŸe needs to address these concerns effectively while ensuring the successful adoption of the new system, which is critical for Türk Telekom’s long-term strategic goals. Which of the following approaches would best demonstrate AyÅŸe’s adaptability, leadership potential, and commitment to Türk Telekom’s values?
Correct
The most effective approach for AyÅŸe is to acknowledge the concerns, explore alternative solutions, and emphasize the long-term benefits of the new system while actively seeking and incorporating feedback. This demonstrates adaptability, leadership, and strong communication skills, aligning with Türk Telekom’s values of customer focus and continuous improvement. It addresses the immediate resistance by involving the team in finding solutions, mitigating potential disruptions, and reinforcing the strategic importance of the new system for Türk Telekom’s future competitiveness.

Question 10 of 29
10. Question
A new regulatory mandate requires Turk Telekom to overhaul its customer data privacy protocols within six months. Gulay, a team lead, faces resistance from her team, who are comfortable with the existing system and overwhelmed by the complexity of the new regulations. Which of the following actions would best demonstrate leadership potential in this scenario, aligning with Turk Telekom’s values of customer focus and innovation?

This proactive approach fosters a culture of adaptability and ensures the project remains aligned with Turk Telekom’s strategic goals. This requires strong leadership, open communication, and a willingness to pivot when necessary, all essential qualities for a successful project manager at Turk Telekom. A project manager’s role extends beyond simply executing a plan; it includes navigating uncertainty and ensuring the project delivers value in a changing environment. Ignoring the market shift and team concerns would be detrimental to the project’s success and reflect poorly on the project manager’s adaptability and leadership skills.

You are a member of a project team at Turk Telekom, and you have noticed that the workload is unevenly distributed, with you consistently being assigned more tasks and responsibilities than other team members. This is causing you significant stress and impacting your ability to meet deadlines. What is the MOST effective approach to address this situation and ensure a more equitable distribution of workload?
Correct
The optimal approach involves a combination of clear communication, active listening, and collaborative problem-solving. The team member should first clearly communicate their concerns about the workload imbalance to the team lead, providing specific examples of tasks and deadlines that are causing them stress. This communication should be assertive but respectful, focusing on the impact of the workload imbalance on their ability to contribute effectively to the team. Next, the team member should actively listen to the team lead’s response, seeking to understand the reasons for the workload imbalance and any potential constraints that are preventing it from being addressed. This demonstrates a willingness to collaborate and find a mutually agreeable solution. The team member should then propose potential solutions to the workload imbalance, such as reallocating tasks, prioritizing deadlines, or seeking additional resources. This demonstrates initiative and a commitment to finding a way to improve the situation. If the team lead is unable to address the workload imbalance, the team member should consider escalating the issue to a higher level of management, such as the project manager or department head, while continuing to maintain open communication with the team lead. Silently suffering under the workload imbalance could lead to burnout and decreased productivity, while aggressively confronting the team lead could damage the working relationship. The team member needs to strike a balance between assertiveness, collaboration, and problem-solving to address the workload imbalance effectively. This scenario highlights the importance of communication skills, teamwork skills, and conflict resolution skills in a collaborative work environment like Turk Telekom.

Question 18 of 29
18. Question
Aysel, a Turk Telekom customer in Ankara, experiences intermittent internet service disruptions over a two-week period. She calls the customer service hotline, expressing significant frustration as she works from home and relies heavily on a stable internet connection. As a customer service representative, which of the following actions demonstrates the best balance of adaptability, regulatory compliance, and customer focus?
Correct
Turk Telekom, like all telecommunications providers in Turkey, operates under strict regulatory oversight from the Information and Communication Technologies Authority (BTK). The BTK mandates specific procedures for handling customer complaints, including timelines for acknowledgement, investigation, and resolution. These procedures are designed to ensure transparency and fairness in service delivery. Furthermore, Turk Telekom is subject to the Consumer Protection Law No. 6502, which grants consumers specific rights regarding service quality, contract terms, and dispute resolution. Failure to comply with these regulations can result in significant fines and reputational damage. In this scenario, the most appropriate action is to first acknowledge the customer’s frustration and assure them that their complaint will be thoroughly investigated within the BTK-mandated timeframe. Then, escalate the issue to the appropriate internal department (e.g., network operations, customer service management) for immediate attention. Finally, document all actions taken and communications with the customer to ensure compliance and provide a clear audit trail. Simply offering a discount without addressing the underlying service issue is a short-term solution that does not address the root cause of the problem and could lead to further complaints. Ignoring the complaint or providing a generic response is a violation of both BTK regulations and Turk Telekom’s commitment to customer satisfaction. Delaying escalation increases the risk of non-compliance and customer churn.

Gulay, a newly appointed team lead, discovers that the most experienced technician is unavailable due to a family emergency. The remaining team members, while competent, lack specific expertise in this type of complex fiber optic repair, and the pressure from upper management to restore service is immense. Gulay also knows there have been recurring issues with outdated repair protocols and insufficient training on new fiber optic technologies. Which course of action best balances the immediate need for service restoration with the long-term development of the team and improvement of Turk Telekom’s operational efficiency?

The best approach involves a combination of immediate action to resolve the crisis, a focus on collaborative problem-solving to prevent recurrence, and a commitment to developing the team’s overall capabilities. This reflects Turk Telekom’s values of customer focus, innovation, and employee empowerment. Ignoring the employee’s personal situation or failing to acknowledge the systemic issues contributing to the problem would be detrimental to morale and long-term performance. A leader within Turk Telekom needs to balance empathy with the need to maintain operational excellence and drive continuous improvement. The key is to address the immediate crisis while simultaneously laying the groundwork for a more resilient and skilled team in the future.

Question 22 of 29
22. Question
As a project manager at Turk Telekom, you are leading a critical infrastructure upgrade project. Suddenly, a new government regulation mandates the immediate implementation of a novel network security protocol, diverting resources and expertise from your ongoing project. Simultaneously, your team is facing a shortage of skilled engineers due to an unexpected surge in demand for 5G deployment projects across the company. Furthermore, the new security protocol requires familiarity with a technology your team hasn’t used before. Which course of action best demonstrates adaptability, leadership, and effective teamwork in this challenging situation, aligning with Turk Telekom’s values of customer focus and innovation?
Correct
In a rapidly evolving telecommunications landscape, Turk Telekom’s success hinges on its employees’ ability to adapt to changing priorities, embrace new methodologies, and effectively collaborate in diverse teams. This scenario presents a situation where a project manager faces conflicting priorities, resource constraints, and the need to integrate a new, unfamiliar technology. The optimal response involves a combination of proactive communication, strategic prioritization, and a willingness to learn and adapt.
First, the project manager should immediately communicate the conflicting priorities and resource constraints to their supervisor and relevant stakeholders. This ensures transparency and allows for a collaborative discussion to re-evaluate priorities and potentially reallocate resources.
Second, the project manager should prioritize tasks based on their strategic importance to Turk Telekom’s overall goals, considering factors such as revenue generation, customer satisfaction, and regulatory compliance. A framework like the Eisenhower Matrix (urgent/important) can be helpful. Tasks related to maintaining network stability and regulatory compliance should typically take precedence.
Third, the project manager should proactively seek training and support to understand the new technology. This demonstrates a willingness to learn and adapt, which is crucial for success in a dynamic environment. They should also explore opportunities for knowledge sharing within the team to build collective expertise.
Fourth, the project manager should delegate tasks effectively, leveraging the strengths of team members and providing clear expectations and support. This ensures that the workload is distributed appropriately and that team members are empowered to contribute effectively.
Finally, the project manager should maintain open communication with stakeholders throughout the project, providing regular updates on progress, challenges, and any necessary adjustments to the plan. This builds trust and ensures that everyone is aligned on the goals and priorities.
The other options represent less effective approaches. Ignoring the conflicting priorities would lead to project delays and potential failure. Focusing solely on the new technology without addressing the existing constraints would be impractical. Blaming the team would damage morale and hinder collaboration.

Question 29 of 29
29. Question
Ahmet, a network engineer at Turk Telekom, expresses his interest in learning more about 5G technology and its potential applications for the company. As his manager, what is the MOST appropriate response?
Correct
Turk Telekom’s success hinges on its ability to adapt to the rapidly evolving telecommunications landscape. This requires a commitment to continuous learning and development, particularly in emerging technologies like 5G, IoT, and cloud computing. When a team member expresses interest in acquiring new skills, it’s essential to support their professional growth by providing access to relevant training resources.

While assigning unrelated tasks might seem helpful in the short term, it doesn’t address the team member’s development needs or contribute to long-term growth. Ignoring the request could lead to dissatisfaction and attrition. Dismissing the request as unnecessary demonstrates a lack of investment in employee development and innovation. Therefore, the most appropriate response is to support the team member’s interest in learning new technologies by providing access to training resources and opportunities for skill development. This fosters a culture of continuous learning and innovation within Turk Telekom.
