Project Management Professional (PMP) — Question 542

The project manager is having difficulty obtaining approval of the project requirements because there is disagreement among the project stakeholders. This issue is putting the project schedule at risk.
What should the project manager do first to facilitate the approval of project requirements'?

Answer options

• A. Review the project charter
• B. Perform a stakeholder analysis
• C. Identify the source of the disagreement
• D. Hold a team-building event

Correct answer: C

Explanation

Identifying the source of the disagreement is crucial because it allows the project manager to understand the root of the conflict and address it directly. Reviewing the project charter and performing stakeholder analysis are important but come after understanding the disagreement. Holding a team-building event may improve relationships but does not directly resolve the issues with project requirements.
