Project Management Professional (PMP) — Question 844

A project sponsor wants to develop software that would have 30 features and would be used in 10 different countries. The team feels overwhelmed with the amount of work to be done.

What should the project manager do?

Answer options

• A. Support the team to find and execute the minimum viable product (MVP).
• B. Organize project execution to satisfy the project sponsor’s request.
• C. Encourage and motivate the team with project incentives.
• D. Subdivide the team to handle different aspects of the project.

Correct answer: A

Explanation

The correct answer is A because focusing on the minimum viable product (MVP) allows the team to deliver essential features first, reducing overwhelm. Options B and D may lead to increased complexity without addressing the core challenges, while C alone does not tackle the workload issue effectively.
