Project Management Professional (PMP) — Question 427

A customized module is being implemented into an off-the-shelf enterprise resource planning (ERP) solution. The project scope has been clearly defined by the sponsor, and the project manager is close to starting user acceptance testing. However, the newly elected government introduced a significant package of taxation reforms.

What should the project manager do?

Answer options

• A. Contact the finance team and ask for advice.
• B. Put the project on hold and wait for information.
• C. Assess the potential impact with the project team.
• D. Continue with user testing as planned.

Correct answer: C

Explanation

The correct answer is C because assessing the potential impact of the taxation reforms with the project team allows for informed decision-making and adaptations to the project scope if necessary. Options A and B do not directly address evaluating the project's current trajectory in light of the reforms, while D ignores the potential implications of the new regulations.
