Project Management Professional (PMP) — Question 308

The customer's project manager changes during the final stage of a project.
How can the project manager avoid a project closure delay?

Answer options

• A. Update the stakeholder engagement plan
• B. Review the latest project status report and update the stakeholders
• C. Escalate the case to the customer's management team
• D. Issue the project payment invoice to the customer in advance

Correct answer: A

Explanation

Updating the stakeholder engagement plan is essential to ensure that all parties are aligned with the project's status and closure expectations, especially after a leadership change. Reviewing the project status report is important, but it doesn't directly engage stakeholders in the closure process. Escalating to management might create unnecessary tension, and issuing the invoice early does not contribute to project closure activities.
