Project Management Professional (PMP) — Question 923

At the end of a workshop to review project deliverables, a number of follow-up action items were generated. What should the project manager do next?

Answer options

• A. Defer all actions until the next workshop to keep the team focused on other higher priorities.
• B. Prioritize the actions with the team, assign individuals who will be responsible for completion, and monitor progress.
• C. Review the critical path and update the project schedule with the newly identified tasks.
• D. Follow up on each item as soon as possible to ensure timely completion and report the status to management.

Correct answer: B

Explanation

The correct answer is B because prioritizing actions, assigning responsibilities, and monitoring progress ensures accountability and helps keep the project on track. Option A is incorrect as deferring actions could lead to missed deadlines. Option C does not directly address the follow-up items generated from the workshop, and option D, while proactive, lacks the structured approach of prioritization and assignment that B provides.
