Project Management Professional (PMP) — Question 748

A project team is in the planning stage and has prepared a list of activities and completed sequencing the activities. During a review, the team noted that there is a dependency missing between:

• Test the product
• Release to customer

According to the quality management plan, the product must be tested before being released.

How should the project manager enter this dependency?

Answer options

Correct answer: B

Explanation

The correct answer is Finish to start because the testing of the product must be completed before the product can be released to customers. The other options do not accurately represent this relationship: Start to start would imply both tasks begin together, Finish to finish would mean both finish simultaneously, and Start to finish is an incorrect dependency type for this scenario.
