Project Management Professional (PMP) — Question 331

A project is starting its second iteration out of six. During the daily meeting, a team member asks for help. In order to finish a deliverable, an approval from the design department will be needed.
What should the project manager do?

Answer options

• A. Meet with the design manager to ask for the necessary approval.
• B. Invite a design team member to the next daily meeting.
• C. Update the issue log and escalate it to the project sponsor.
• D. Replace this iteration deliverable for one without any blockers.

Correct answer: A

Explanation

The correct answer is A because directly meeting with the design manager is the most effective way to obtain the necessary approval. Option B may facilitate communication but does not guarantee approval. Option C involves escalating the issue, which may not be necessary at this stage, while option D suggests replacing the deliverable, which is not a viable solution if the original work is still required.
