Project Management Professional (PMP) — Question 1385

A building management system (BMS) project is in its commissioning phase and handover to the operations team will commence soon. However, the project manager noted that both the project and operation teams are not able to properly operate the BMS. As a result, there is an increased risk of the project schedule being delayed.
What should the project manager have done to avoid this situation?

Answer options

• A. Brought both teams together in a joint meeting to resolve the issue
• B. Made some adjustments to BMS to be more suitable for the teams
• C. Allocated a dedicated handover team at early stages of the project
• D. Allocated proper resources for training on BMS in the project plan

Correct answer: D

Explanation

The correct answer is D because providing proper training resources for the BMS is essential to ensure both teams can operate the system effectively, thus reducing the risk of delays. While options A, B, and C may help in certain situations, they do not directly address the fundamental issue of insufficient training on the BMS, which is critical for smooth operation.
