Project Management Professional (PMP) — Question 60

A project manager has just been hired to lead a project team in a hybrid environment. The team is working on a group of critical projects.
What should the project manager do to ensure the right environment and authority are in place to effectively deliver the projects?

Answer options

• A. Create a project steering committee aligned with existing organizational structures.
• B. Develop a detailed project management plan to share with project resources.
• C. Develop a detailed risk log and share it with all of the project stakeholders.
• D. Appoint a self-organizing project team that is not influenced by organizational factors.

Correct answer: A

Explanation

The correct answer is A, as forming a project steering committee helps ensure that the project aligns with organizational goals and has the necessary support. Option B is important for management but does not address the environment and authority aspect directly. Option C is useful for risk management but does not facilitate the overall project delivery framework. Option D could lead to chaos as it disregards organizational structures that can provide essential support.
