Project Management Professional (PMP) — Question 460

During the review of a project's list of deliverables, one of the stakeholders expressed concern that one of the requirements will not be addressed.
What should the project manager do?

Answer options

• A. Check the approved list of requirements to see if there are any missing items
• B. Work with the stakeholder to improve the requirements' acceptance criteria
• C. Review the requirements traceability matrix with the concerned stakeholder
• D. Discuss with the stakeholder which additional requirements should be added

Correct answer: C

Explanation

The correct answer is C because reviewing the requirements traceability matrix helps ensure that all requirements are tracked and addressed, allowing for clarity on what has been covered. Option A is not enough as it doesn't involve the stakeholder, while B and D focus on modifying or adding requirements instead of verifying existing ones.
