Project Management Professional (PMP) — Question 397

A project manager is part of an organization that is assessing the use of agile delivery approaches. A new project management office (PMO) manager who had a bad experience with a Scrum approach recommended that the project board replace Scrum with a predictive approach.

What should the project manager do?

Answer options

• A. Review the communications management plan to identify new stakeholders.
• B. Define a risk management plan for the new approach, as needed.
• C. Define a project management plan for the new approach, as needed.
• D. Review the benefits realization plan to include the cost of the change.

Correct answer: D

Explanation

The correct answer is D because reviewing the benefits realization plan ensures that the costs associated with switching approaches are accounted for, which is crucial for the project's financial planning. Options A, B, and C do not directly address the immediate concern of managing the financial implications of changing the project management approach.
