Project Management Professional (PMP) — Question 125

A project management office (PMO) director finds that the project managers leading software development projects are not consistently seeking approval from other division leaders in cybersecurity and operations before deploying code into production. The PMO director asks the project manager to develop a solution for this issue.

What should the project manager do to fix this problem?

Answer options

• A. Create a new policy requiring project managers to email division leaders before deploying code into production.
• B. Establish a daily scrum meeting and invite division leaders to attend so they can be aware of upcoming code releases.
• C. Provide division leaders with a teleconference phone number to call if they have concerns after code is deployed into production.
• D. Launch an enterprise governance structure comprised of division leaders to establish policies for code releases.

Correct answer: D

Explanation

The correct answer is D because establishing an enterprise governance structure allows for formal policies and procedures to be set in place, ensuring that all necessary approvals are obtained before code deployment. Options A and B offer informal methods that may not ensure compliance, while C only addresses concerns after the fact, failing to prevent issues before they occur.
