Project Management Professional (PMP) — Question 638

A project manager and project team developing a new product are discussing which work methods and tools to use to build the deliverable. What should the result of this discussion be?

Answer options

• A. A detailed mitigation plan on the risks for each work method and the tools used
• B. A technology roadmap for creating similar deliverables in the future with the same tools
• C. An agreed-upon work method and tools that should fit the business need and project constraints
• D. A consensus that everything will run as anticipated once the tools and work methods are identified

Correct answer: C

Explanation

The correct answer, C, emphasizes the necessity for a consensus on work methods and tools that meet both business requirements and project constraints. Option A focuses too much on risk mitigation, which is not the primary goal of this discussion. Option B is about future planning rather than immediate decision-making, and option D is overly optimistic without addressing the need for a structured approach.
