Project Management Professional (PMP) — Question 1133

A project manager is assigned to lead a hybrid innovation project. During a meeting with the sponsor and major stakeholders, the project manager realizes that the requirements are unclear.

What should the project manager do in this situation?

Answer options

• A. Request that the sponsor meet with the product owner to address the issue.
• B. Help the sponsor and major stakeholders to craft the product vision.
• C. Add this to the risk register and monitor the risk until this becomes an issue.
• D. Review lessons learned to see how sponsors deal with issues about unclear requirements.

Correct answer: B

Explanation

The correct answer is B because helping to craft the product vision enables all parties to clarify and align on project objectives, thus addressing the unclear requirements. Option A does not directly involve the stakeholders in creating a shared vision, while C focuses on monitoring rather than resolving the issue, and D looks backward rather than proactively addressing the current problem.
