Project Management Professional (PMP) — Question 812
A project manager is leading a project in which the product requirements have not been fully met due to several uncertainties about customer acceptance. What should the project manager do?
Answer options
- A. Gather a reduced number of approved requirements and add some extra features to fulfill the product specifications.
- B. Gather enough requirements to produce a minimum viable product (MVP) with which to evaluate customer acceptance.
- C. Stop all project activities until all requirements are set up front by the project sponsor and the key stakeholders.
- D. Ask team members to research and collect data about the best features offered by similar products in the market.
Correct answer: B
Explanation
The correct answer is B because creating a minimum viable product (MVP) allows for early testing of customer acceptance with limited resources. Option A suggests adding extra features, which may not address the core uncertainties. Option C would unnecessarily delay the project, and option D, while informative, does not directly address the need to evaluate customer acceptance.
