Project Management Professional (PMP) — Question 82

A project is being delayed due to a large amount of rework caused by a quality problem that is impacting the critical path.
What should the project manager do?

Answer options

• A. Report the delay with rectifying actions to the project management office (PMO).
• B. Rebaseline the project schedule to absorb the delay.
• C. Notify the project steering committee about the cause of the delay.
• D. Report the delay with rectifying actions to the change control board (CCB) for review.

Correct answer: D

Explanation

The correct answer is D because reporting to the change control board (CCB) allows for a formal review of the issues and proposed corrective actions, ensuring that any changes are properly evaluated and documented. Option A, while useful, does not involve the necessary review process for changes; B merely shifts the schedule without addressing the root cause; and C informs stakeholders but does not provide a mechanism for resolution.
