Project Management Professional (PMP) — Question 1005

A project manager is managing a project for a government owned company using an iterative approach. The first useful release to production consisted of three iterations. Each iteration was successfully checked by the client's representatives in the test environment. However, when the team started deploying to the production environment, the security team declined it.

What should the project manager have done to prevent this?

Answer options

• A. Implemented the authorization in the first iteration
• B. Reviewed the compliance requirements with stakeholders
• C. Deployed to production after the first iteration
• D. Planned smaller iterations to review the results more often

Correct answer: B

Explanation

The correct answer is B because reviewing compliance requirements with stakeholders ensures that all necessary security and regulatory standards are met before deployment. Options A, C, and D do not directly address the importance of compliance and security, which are crucial in a government project.
