Project Management Professional (PMP) — Question 758

A team is about to close a deployment and is waiting to receive critical information from the customer. The customer continues to postpone sending information, which is consequently delaying the deployment.

What should the project manager have done to prevent the delay?

Answer options

• A. Delegated the task to the product owner
• B. Asked the team to use the sample data
• C. Engaged the sponsor and sought their support
• D. Received all key information ahead of time

Correct answer: D

Explanation

The correct action is D because obtaining all necessary information beforehand ensures that the deployment can proceed without interruptions. The other options may provide alternative approaches but do not directly address the root cause of the delay caused by missing information.
