Project Management Professional (PMP) — Question 299

A project manager is managing a national rollout for an innovative product in a regulated environment that is expected to change. The project management office
(PMO) needs visibility of the regulatory constraints while maintaining a degree of flexibility.
Which tool can the project manager use?

Answer options

• A. Use a burndown chart to provide transparency
• B. Use a burnup chart to provide transparency
• C. Use a kanban board to increase accountability
• D. Use a product backlog to manage changes

Correct answer: D

Explanation

The correct answer is D, as a product backlog enables the project manager to prioritize and manage changes effectively in a dynamic regulatory environment. Options A and B focus on charts that provide visibility into progress but do not specifically address regulatory constraints. Option C, while helpful for accountability, does not offer the flexibility needed to manage regulatory changes.
