Project Management Professional (PMP) — Question 633

A project manager is working on a large project with a very difficult client. During the course of the project, the project manager realizes that if the project team had a little more time and funding to make some minor changes, the client could realize the benefits of 25% of the project outcomes early.

How should the project manager approach this?

Answer options

• A. Concentrate on the current project milestones.
• B. Make all the changes and then show the client the results.
• C. Develop a business case and submit it to the client.
• D. Update the project management plan for this new work.

Correct answer: C

Explanation

The correct answer is C because developing a business case allows the project manager to justify the need for additional time and funding to the client. Option A is incorrect as it overlooks potential benefits; B fails to involve the client in the decision-making process; and D does not adequately address the need for client approval on changes.
