Project Management Professional (PMP) — Question 22

A project manager is working on the delivery of a solution that needs to be deployed to the public quickly. The project team is experienced, the stakeholders are supporting the delivery, and the customer is cooperating.
What strategy should the project manager use to ensure on-time delivery of the solution?

Answer options

• A. Meet with the customer to agree on the components of the solution and the priorities
• B. Ask the sponsor for support regarding the allocation of additional resources to finish on time
• C. Have a high-level plan for incremental deliveries and get the customer's feedback as early as possible
• D. Have a detailed plan of all milestones, deliverables, functionalities, and allocation of resources

Correct answer: C

Explanation

Option C is correct because a high-level plan for incremental deliveries allows for flexibility and adapts to feedback from the customer, which is crucial for quick deployment. Option A focuses on agreement but lacks immediate action for delivery, while Option B may delay progress due to waiting for additional resources. Option D, although detailed, could lead to rigidity and slow down the overall delivery process.
