Project Management Professional (PMP) — Question 1104

A project selection committee is shortlisting projects for the coming year. Which selection criteria should the project manager recommend?

Answer options

• A. Projects with the least associated risks
• B. Projects with maximum revenue generation
• C. Projects with the least duration
• D. Projects that maximize the business value

Correct answer: D

Explanation

The correct answer is D because maximizing business value ensures that the selected projects align with the overall strategic goals and deliver the highest impact. Options A, B, and C focus on specific aspects like risks, revenue, or duration, which do not necessarily guarantee the project's contribution to the organization's long-term success.
