Project Management Professional (PMP) — Question 684

A project manager has recently been asked to take over an existing project that is halfway through execution. The project sponsor asked the project manager to ensure that the work carried out and the product being created do not deviate from the prescribed business value.

What should the project manager do to achieve this goal?

Answer options

• A. Review the requirements management plan.
• B. Monitor the work breakdown structure (WBS).
• C. Carry out quality audits and failure analyses.
• D. Review the benefits realization plan.

Correct answer: D

Explanation

The correct answer is D because reviewing the benefits realization plan helps the project manager understand the expected business value and ensure that the project aligns with those goals. The other options focus on different aspects of project management but do not directly address the alignment with the business value as effectively as the benefits realization plan.
