Project Management Professional (PMP) — Question 846

A project manager is leading an agile project in an organization that has not executed this type of project before. In order to ensure the project is following the compliance requirements, what should the project manager do?

Answer options

• A. Use the risk register to document all of the compliance vulnerabilities generated by the project so that all decisions are well documented and approved by stakeholders.
• B. Meet with the project management office (PMO)/compliance entity to work on process tailoring to ensure that the agile deliverables support the compliance requirements of the organization.
• C. Follow the organization's process and deliverables for predictive projects, even if they compromise the agility and performance of the project.
• D. Coach upper management on agile practices, explaining that an agile project is concerned with value delivery, and negotiate a way out of the compliance requirements.

Correct answer: B

Explanation

The correct answer is B because collaborating with the PMO or compliance entity ensures that the agile processes are tailored to meet compliance requirements effectively. Option A is incorrect as it focuses on documentation rather than proactive compliance integration. Option C compromises the agile project's performance for adherence to outdated processes, while option D wrongly suggests bypassing compliance requirements instead of integrating them.
