Project Management Professional (PMP) — Question 523

A company has a lot of experience with predictive projects. The project management office (PMO) has been trying to implement iterative tools within the project management framework, and the project manager has been asked to use these tools in their current project. After the successful implementation of the iterative tools, the PMO asks the project manager to determine the benefits these tools brought to the project.
What should the project manager do?

Answer options

• A. Determine the data to be monitored during the project as well as the expected performance and targets.
• B. Update the communications management plan to consider performance review meetings with the project stakeholders.
• C. Prepare and submit a status report to the steering committee to update performance monitoring.
• D. Conduct reviews with stakeholders to discuss the potential benefits the approach may have to the project.

Correct answer: D

Explanation

The correct answer is D because conducting reviews with stakeholders allows the project manager to gather insights and feedback on the iterative tools' effectiveness, fostering collaboration and understanding. Options A and B focus on monitoring and communication without directly assessing the benefits of the new tools, while option C emphasizes reporting rather than engaging stakeholders in a discussion about the tools' advantages.
