Project Management Professional (PMP) — Question 810

During project execution, a project manager wants to involve the business lead before the users are involved in the project. However, the business lead is also engaged in another big project and cannot join this project meeting.

What should the project manager do first?

Answer options

• A. Ask a delegate from the business lead to communicate and handle the transition work.
• B. Summarize the changes and potential user impact in an email and send it to the business lead.
• C. Adjust the project completion date until the business lead is able to engage in the discussion.
• D. Add resources to answer questions that the users and business lead will have during the project.

Correct answer: B

Explanation

The correct answer is B because summarizing the changes and potential impacts allows the business lead to stay informed and provide input asynchronously. Option A might not ensure the business lead's perspective is adequately represented, C is impractical as it delays the project, and D does not address the need for the business lead's input specifically.
