Project Management Professional (PMP) — Question 1354

A new project manager is assigned to a project midway through its implementation. During the first risk review meeting, the project manager notices that the version of the risk register used by the project team members is different from the one the project manager is using.
What should the project manager have done to avoid this issue?

Answer options

• A. Referred to the communications management plan
• B. Validated the issue log
• C. Validated the project artifacts
• D. Performed expert judgment

Correct answer: C

Explanation

The correct answer is C because validating the project artifacts would ensure that all team members are using the same version of the risk register. The other options do not directly address the synchronization of project documents, making them less effective in preventing this issue.
