Project Management Professional (PMP) — Question 1155

A project manager is assigned to a multiyear enterprise resource planning (ERP) solution project. During planning, the business sponsor emphasizes the importance of demonstrating value along the way, while maintaining the integrity of the final product.

How should the project manager establish the delivery model for this project?

Answer options

• A. Communicate the latest status to the steering committee and provide a demo of the features completed.
• B. Reestablish the project as a program with multiple small projects, as each project will be delivered as a product of its own.
• C. Schedule routine demos on features completed and deliver a single product once all features are completed.
• D. Organize the project into multiple subsets based on business functions and deliver each subset as a component of the final product.

Correct answer: D

Explanation

The correct answer is D because organizing the project into subsets allows for incremental delivery of components, aligning with the business sponsor's requirement to demonstrate value while maintaining the integrity of the final product. Option A focuses on status updates rather than delivery, B breaks the project into separate products which may not ensure overall product integrity, and C delays the delivery of value until the end, contrary to the sponsor's emphasis on demonstrating value along the way.
