Program Management Professional (PgMP) — Question 210

You are the project manager for your organization. Your project team has finished the second phase of a seven-phase project. At the end of each phase, management must review the work your project team has completed and determine if the project should be allowed to continue. What name describes this type of end-of-phase review management is completing on your project?

Answer options

• A. Quality control
• B. Kill point
• C. Phase review
• D. Audit

Correct answer: B

Explanation

The correct answer is 'Kill point' because it specifically refers to the decision point at the end of a project phase where stakeholders evaluate whether to continue with the project. 'Quality control' focuses on ensuring the quality of the output, while 'Phase review' is a general term that doesn't specifically denote the decision-making aspect. 'Audit' typically refers to an examination of compliance and may not directly relate to project continuation decisions.
