Project Management Professional (PMP) — Question 1325

In a project steering committee meeting, a few stakeholders raise concerns that the project manager's report shows that the outcome of the project is already in the market while the project is still in development. The project manager explains that the project is being delivered in sprints and involves different releases.

What should the project manager do to avoid a reoccurrence of this scenario?

Answer options

• A. Ensure the content of the project report is clearly understood and request any necessary feedback.
• B. Ensure that all product features are completed as per the communicated specifications before releasing to market.
• C. Send a detailed report to each steering committee member ahead of the meeting.
• D. Invite critical stakeholders to the daily project review meetings to ensure their full engagement and involvement.

Correct answer: A

Explanation

The correct answer is A because ensuring that all stakeholders clearly understand the project report and providing a platform for feedback can help prevent misunderstandings in the future. Option B is incorrect as it focuses on completing features rather than communication. Option C does not address the root cause of the confusion, which is understanding the report. Option D, while promoting engagement, does not directly resolve the issue of misinterpretation in reports.
