Project Management Professional (PMP) — Question 130

A project manager is managing a few innovation projects with a high level of uncertainty. The project manager is experiencing challenges with the large number of change requests issued due to the nature of the project.
What should the project manager do?

Answer options

• A. Reduce the number of approvers required to implement a change request
• B. Request sponsor approval for all change requests to reduce the number of changes
• C. Initiate the number of iterations to reduce the number of change requests
• D. Add a fixed number of change requests allowed by the client on the project baseline

Correct answer: C

Explanation

The correct answer is C because initiating iterations allows for adaptive planning and can help manage changes more effectively in uncertain projects. Options A and B may reduce oversight but do not address the root cause of change requests. Option D could lead to artificial constraints that may not align with the project's evolving nature.
