Project Management Professional (PMP) — Question 263

A stakeholder informs the project manager about a few compliance-related gaps and issues. The stakeholder then presents several suggestions to the project manager to address the issues.

What should the project manager do?

Answer options

• A. Discuss the suggestions with the staff responsible for the compliance issues.
• B. Review this with the project sponsor to avoid compliance gaps and issues.
• C. Log the feedback from the compliance gaps in the lessons learned register.
• D. Use the compliance issues to identify coaching and mentoring opportunities.

Correct answer: A

Explanation

The correct answer is A because discussing the suggestions with the staff responsible for compliance issues allows for direct engagement and problem-solving. Option B, while important, delays immediate action by involving the project sponsor instead of the team that can address the issues. Option C is about documentation rather than action, and option D diverts focus from resolving the compliance gaps to potential training opportunities.
