Project Management Professional (PMP) — Question 739

A project manager is assigned to a critical project to build a complex application for a client whose goal is to achieve an ideal state for their business model, but is unsure about how to achieve the solution. What collaboration model should the project manager recommend in this situation?

Answer options

• A. Ask the client to specify their business needs in a contract format and approve it.
• B. Schedule quarterly review meetings with the client.
• C. Request that proper stakeholders, including the client, are assigned.
• D. Ask the project team to write the business requirements based on the client's needs.

Correct answer: C

Explanation

The correct answer is C because involving the right stakeholders, including the client, ensures comprehensive input and alignment on project goals. Option A is less effective as it relies solely on a contract without collaboration. Option B may lead to insufficient engagement throughout the project. Option D could result in misunderstandings if the project team lacks direct input from the client.
