Project Management Professional (PMP) — Question 859

A pharmacy needs to launch a medication delivery service. An interdisciplinary team was created in order to have the service ready in one-month when it usually takes five months to complete.

What should the project manager do?

Answer options

• A. Register a risk and define a contingency plan.
• B. Review and reduce the project backlog.
• C. Assist the team in proposing a minimum viable product (MVP).
• D. Ask to increase the capacity of the team.

Correct answer: C

Explanation

The correct answer is C because proposing a minimum viable product (MVP) allows the team to focus on essential features that can be delivered quickly. Options A and B do not directly address the urgency of the timeline, while D may not be feasible if team capacity cannot be increased rapidly.
