Project Management Professional (PMP) — Question 1340

A project is starting its sixth iteration out seven. During the daily meeting, a team member explains that a key function will take longer to complete than originally anticipated.

What should the project manager do?

Answer options

• A. Ask for help to increase the team capacity to deliver on time.
• B. Ask for a project extension to deliver the committed scope.
• C. Update the issue log and escalate the problem to the project sponsor.
• D. Review the options and possible solutions with the project team.

Correct answer: D

Explanation

The correct answer is D because it involves collaborating with the team to explore solutions and adjustments that may help to meet project goals. Options A and B may not address the issue directly or could lead to additional delays, while option C, while important for documentation, does not actively seek to resolve the problem at hand.
