Project Management Professional (PMP) — Question 745

A project team is facing challenges understanding how to deliver a project's scope. A senior subject matter expert (SME) from the organization's global office is in town for 1 week.

What should the project manager do to benefit from the SME’s presence?

Answer options

• A. Review the project scope statement with the SME.
• B. Meet with the SME to discuss the current challenges the team is facing.
• C. Organize a mentoring session with the team and the SME.
• D. Ask the SME to review the scope for alignment with the project charter.

Correct answer: C

Explanation

The correct answer is C because organizing a mentoring session allows the team to directly interact with the SME, facilitating knowledge transfer and skill enhancement. While options A, B, and D involve valuable discussions, they do not provide the same level of collaborative engagement and learning opportunities that a mentoring session offers.
