Project Management Professional (PMP) — Question 1140

A project manager has been assigned to a new digital product line, which the company hopes will boost their revenue. The product is complex and requires customer feedback to continually refine the product. The project is being handled by a cross-functional agile team.

What should the project manager do to ensure value is delivered quickly?

Answer options

• A. Ask the project sponsor to provide additional resources to fast track the project
• B. Plan the project to deliver value incrementally with regular releases
• C. Request a budget increase to pay the subject matter experts (SMEs) more overtime
• D. Identify tasks that can run in parallel to deliver the project faster

Correct answer: B

Explanation

The correct answer is B because planning the project for incremental value delivery with frequent releases allows for continuous feedback and adjustments based on customer needs. The other options, while potentially beneficial, do not directly facilitate the rapid delivery of value; they focus on resource allocation or task management without the iterative approach that agile emphasizes.
