Project Management Professional (PMP) — Question 1053

Upon analyzing the report requirements to create a functional design, the project team finds that the information source is not correct and needs to be adjusted. What should the project manager do?

Answer options

• A. Initiate a change request procedure.
• B. Build a prototype to verify the information.
• C. Consult with subject matter experts (SMEs).
• D. Review the statement of work (SOW).

Correct answer: A

Explanation

The correct answer is A, as initiating a change request procedure is necessary when there are discrepancies in project requirements. Options B, C, and D do not directly address the need for formal changes to be made to the project scope or requirements, which makes them less suitable in this context.
