Project Management Professional (PMP) — Question 763

A company is looking to adopt a new software solution to align business processes across multiple business units using a technology that was never used in the organization. What should the project manager focus on?

Answer options

• A. New system and the likelihood of technical debt
• B. Specific requirements for important departments
• C. Out-of-scope requirements across the organization
• D. Conflicting priorities and business requirements

Correct answer: D

Explanation

The project manager should focus on conflicting priorities and business requirements, as these can significantly hinder the successful adoption of new technology. Addressing these conflicts early on ensures that all stakeholders are aligned and that the software solution meets the varying needs of the business units. The other options, while important, do not address the immediate challenge of aligning different business priorities.
