Project Management Professional (PMP) — Question 360

A project manager has been managing a highly complex project. The project manager has ensured that all of the required tasks have been completed. During a recent external audit. The project manager was informed of a heavy penalty being levied on the project for the latest module that was implemented.
What should the project manager have done to ensure that there were no liabilities arising from the recent implementation?

Answer options

• A. Ensured that all defects identified during testing were resolved before implementation
• B. Ensured that all of the required tasks identified in the scope were completed successfully
• C. Ensured that all documentation was completed post implementation before closing the project
• D. Ensured that all the required approvals were received per the organizational procedures

Correct answer: D

Explanation

The correct answer is D because obtaining the required approvals is essential to ensure compliance with organizational standards and to mitigate potential liabilities. Options A, B, and C, while important for project management, do not directly address the issue of liability related to approvals, which is critical in such complex projects.
