Project Management Professional (PMP) — Question 1092

A project manager is assigned to a dental equipment development project that is in the middle of its design phase. After reviewing the project prototype, it is identified that a couple of requirements specifications are missing.

Which action should the project manager take next?

Answer options

• A. Ask the team to wait until they are able to update the requirements specifications.
• B. Discuss with the team and build a workaround plan to immediately deliver the pending requirements specifications.
• C. Meet with the development team to review and assess the requirements specifications.
• D. Prepare a change request for the change control board (CCB) to remove the missing requirements specifications.

Correct answer: C

Explanation

The correct answer is C because meeting with the development team allows the project manager to review and clarify the missing requirements specifications, ensuring that the project stays on track. Option A is incorrect as pausing the team delays progress, while option B focuses on workarounds instead of addressing the root issue. Option D is wrong because removing the missing specifications is not a valid solution; they need to be identified and addressed.
