Project Management Professional (PMP) — Question 144

The project sponsor on an agile project informed the project lead that an executive would like an update on the project's progress.
What should the project lead do?

Answer options

• A. Provide a link to the project's shared drive for the executive to search through for any artifacts that are of interest
• B. Invite the executive to the project's meeting space to determine if the project information radiators meet their needs
• C. Reach out to the project management office (PMO) for status report templates and provide project updates in that format
• D. Ask the project sponsor or product owner to provide an update since the project lead should be trying to keep the team free from impediments

Correct answer: B

Explanation

The correct answer is B because inviting the executive to the meeting space allows for direct interaction and ensures that the information radiators are effectively communicated and tailored to the executive's needs. Option A is insufficient as it does not facilitate direct communication. Option C may not align with the agile approach, which emphasizes adaptability over formal templates. Option D is incorrect since the project lead is responsible for communication and should provide the update themselves.
