Project Management Professional (PMP) — Question 847

A project team was asked to resume development activities on a project that was suspended for a few months due to the fast-changing environment and conditions. What should the project lead do?

Answer options

• A. Review the items remaining in the backlog with the project team
• B. Ask the project team to approve all of the remaining backlog items
• C. Ask the program manager to approve the backlog with the client
• D. Review the items remaining in the backlog with the project sponsor

Correct answer: A

Explanation

The correct answer is A because reviewing the backlog with the project team ensures that everyone is aligned on what work remains and can prioritize effectively. Options B and C are inappropriate as they do not involve the team's input, which is crucial for successful project resumption. Option D, while important, focuses on the sponsor rather than the immediate project team who will be doing the work.
