Certified Associate in Project Management (CAPM) — Question 54

Product requirements specify a functionality that depends upon expertise that is unavailable internally. What process should be implemented to generate a make-or-buy decision?

Answer options

• A. Conduct Procurements
• B. Plan Procurement Management
• C. Plan Risk Responses
• D. Plan Risk Management

Correct answer: B

Explanation

The correct answer is B, as the 'Plan Procurement Management' process focuses on determining what to procure and how to manage procurement activities, which is essential for a make-or-buy decision. Option A, 'Conduct Procurements', is about executing the procurement process rather than planning it. Options C and D are related to risk management, which is not directly relevant to the decision of whether to make or buy the required expertise.
