Project Management Professional (PMP) — Question 1057

A project manager working in a matrix organization manages an internal software development project that is intended to reduce conflicts in the company's internal tracking system. Developers placed the software application in production, and it is currently achieving some benefits. However, the full benefits will not be realized for some time.

What should the project manager do?

Answer options

• A. Continue to manage the project until all project benefits are realized.
• B. Coordinate with the project's functional leads to validate its readiness for transition.
• C. Request a new project be initiated to monitor and report achievement of the benefits.
• D. Make updates, mark all project documents as final, and close the project.

Correct answer: B

Explanation

The correct answer is B, as the project manager needs to ensure that the project is fully ready for transition before finalizing it. Options A and D imply continuing without validating readiness, which could lead to issues later. Option C suggests starting a new project when it may not be necessary if the current project can be transitioned effectively.
