Project Management Professional (PMP) — Question 1027

A product is undergoing its last iterative increment, and the project team is ready to make the final deployment. The company’s financial manager is asking the project team to complete the deployment and close the project as soon as possible so it can be capitalized.

What should the project manager do?

Answer options

• A. Expedite the final deployment and close the project.
• B. Ignore the stakeholder's request as there is a defined plan.
• C. Update the acceptance criteria for the iteration.
• D. Check on the definition of done (DoD) for the project.

Correct answer: D

Explanation

The correct answer is D because ensuring the definition of done (DoD) is met is crucial before closing the project. While it may be tempting to expedite the process, options A and B overlook necessary quality checks. Option C suggests changing the criteria, which could lead to further delays rather than confirming that all requirements have been satisfied.
