Project Management Professional (PMP) — Question 451

In a financial company, a strategic project has been planned to use a predictive approach. During project planning, the product leader requests that milestones be submitted for review. There is a defined scope and an established deadline to conclude the project.
What should the project manager do first to meet the product leader's expectations?

Answer options

• A. Change the project charter to indicate that the approach will be different.
• B. Inform the product leader that they must wait until the end of the project.
• C. Meet with the software team to review the possibility of monthly milestone reviews.
• D. Modify the project management plan to use an agile framework to incorporate milestones.

Correct answer: C

Explanation

The correct answer is C because meeting with the software team to discuss monthly milestone reviews directly addresses the product leader's request for milestone submissions. Option A is incorrect as changing the project charter is unnecessary at this stage. Option B is inappropriate since it disregards the product leader's expectations. Option D suggests an agile framework, which may not align with the predictive approach initially established for the project.
