Project Management Professional (PMP) — Question 145

In a frequently changing project, the project manager discovers a customer requirement change during a daily meeting. What should the project manager do?

Answer options

• A. Escalate to management for approval since the change was not included in the original requirements.
• B. Tell the customer that the requirement change will be put into the next project phase if management approves.
• C. Give the change to the scrum master to investigate how much additional effort the change will require.
• D. Validate the requirement change with the product owner and development team before redefining the scope.

Correct answer: D

Explanation

The correct answer is D because validating the requirement change with the product owner and development team ensures that the change is understood and properly assessed before any adjustments to the project scope are made. Options A and B incorrectly suggest escalating or delaying the change without proper evaluation, while option C fails to involve the necessary stakeholders in the decision-making process.
