Project Management Professional (PMP) — Question 1330

During a project's initiation phase, a lessons learned sharing session was held with the team from another project. Low construction productivity was discussed as a potential delay to project completion.
What should the project manager do next?

Answer options

• A. Discuss this issue with the project sponsor to request additional funding to implement mitigation
• B. Prequalify contractors with proven track records to eliminate productivity concerns
• C. Add construction productivity to the risk register and develop a mitigation strategy for site execution
• D. Hire a construction management consultant to develop a comprehensive site execution plan

Correct answer: C

Explanation

The correct action is to add construction productivity to the risk register and develop a mitigation strategy for site execution because it allows the project manager to formally track and address the risk. The other options, while potentially useful, do not address the immediate need to document and strategize for the identified risk in a structured manner.
