Project Management Professional (PMP) — Question 1360

After gathering all the requirements for a project with dependencies on external stakeholders, the project team is finishing the second iteration. At this point, the project manager learns about a possible change in regulations that would prevent the product launch.
What should the project manager do to realize benefits?

Answer options

• A. Add an entry in the risk log
• B. Implement the changes
• C. Review target benefits
• D. Improve the team's velocity

Correct answer: C

Explanation

The correct answer is C, as reviewing target benefits allows the project manager to reassess the project's objectives and determine how to adapt to the new regulatory environment. Option A is inadequate because merely logging the risk does not address the need for strategic adjustments. Option B might not be feasible if the regulations do not permit changes, while option D focuses on productivity rather than aligning with the project's benefits.
