Project Management Professional (PMP) — Question 51

The deliverables of a project have been completed. However, the stakeholders did not approve the deliverables, because they did not cover the needs of the business.
Which actions should the project manager have taken to avoid this situation?

Answer options

• A. Defined the project management plan and ensured it met the project objectives and business needs.
• B. Ensured that the stakeholders participated in the daily meetings to confirm that the project was developing correctly.
• C. Provided and explained the sprint backlog at the beginning of the project to the stakeholders and project team.
• D. Requested that the team change the frequency of the deliverables in the development phase to obtain earlier feedback.

Correct answer: A

Explanation

The correct answer is A because defining the project management plan and ensuring it aligns with project objectives and business needs is crucial for stakeholder approval. Options B, C, and D focus on engagement and feedback but do not directly address the core issue of aligning deliverables with business objectives from the outset.
