Project Management Professional (PMP) — Question 267

A company is launching a new product that has to be ready before the summer season begins. After the discovery process, the team realizes that the requirements are very uncertain.

What should the project manager do?

Answer options

• A. Ask to include some business subject matter experts (SMEs) in the team.
• B. Register a risk and define a contingency plan to finish the project on time.
• C. Assist the team in proposing a minimum viable product (MVP).
• D. Invite stakeholders to discuss project requirements prioritization.

Correct answer: C

Explanation

The correct answer is C because proposing a minimum viable product (MVP) allows the team to focus on essential features that can be developed quickly, which is critical given the uncertain requirements. Options A and D, while helpful, do not directly address the need for a rapid and flexible approach to development. Option B, although it involves risk management, does not resolve the immediate need for clarity in project deliverables.
