Project Management Professional (PMP) — Question 412

The project is delayed due to the high amount of major changes requested by different stakeholders at different stages of the project. If the project continues on the same path, it will consume twice the time and budget planned.
What two actions can the project manager take to be more cost effective? (Choose two.)

Answer options

• A. Conduct a stakeholder analysis
• B. Reinforce team communication.
• C. Update the project management plan with the new timeline
• D. Adopt an incremental approach
• E. Leverage work between team members

Correct answer: A, D

Explanation

Choosing options A and D will help the project manager identify and prioritize stakeholder needs effectively while implementing changes incrementally. This approach mitigates risks and controls costs. Options B, C, and E, while beneficial, do not directly address the core issue of managing stakeholder changes and their impact on the project timeline and budget.
