Project Management Professional (PMP) — Question 892

An organizational policy requires project managers to carry out two audits per month: one for their own project and one for another project manager's project. After a recent audit review, team members suggested that it is not fair to have their deliverables audited by a peer.

What should the project manager do to avoid this situation?

Answer options

• A. Ask the organization to remind staff that audits are a requirement.
• B. Use casual meetings instead of audits.
• C. Complete the audits less frequently.
• D. Set up an audit policy in the scope management plan.

Correct answer: D

Explanation

Setting up an audit policy in the scope management plan ensures that the audit process is clearly defined and standardized, which can help alleviate fairness concerns. The other options do not address the root issue of perceived bias in peer audits and may lead to non-compliance with the organizational policy.
