Project Management Professional (PMP) — Question 273

A project manager is working for an organization in country A and has been tasked with opening the first brick-and-mortar store in country B. The sponsor has identified the city for the store and wants to minimize any potential issues with the local government.
Which action should the project manager take to address the sponsor's request?

Answer options

• A. Work with the organization's legal department to identify local regulations to ensure project compliance
• B. Work with the organization's project management office (PMO) to build a project team of residents located in the city
• C. Work with the organization's real estate department and reach out to the local government to identify the best location for the store
• D. Work with the local government to build the profiles of employees that will be working in the store

Correct answer: A

Explanation

Option A is correct because collaborating with the legal department ensures that the project complies with local laws, thereby minimizing potential issues with the local government. The other options, while relevant to the store's opening, do not directly address the sponsor's concern about compliance with local regulations.
