Project Management Professional (PMP) — Question 926

During the initiation stage of a multimedia exhibition-design project, the project manager is developing the project management plan. What should the project manager do to complete this task?

Answer options

• A. Initiate a survey to solicit end-customer opinions and prioritize exhibition contents.
• B. Initiate an additional services agreement in case the key deliverables list was not clearly stated in the contract.
• C. Benchmark other similar exhibitions' deliverable lists and final outcomes.
• D. Clarify the high-level business requirements with the event organizer as a basis for forming the deliverables list.

Correct answer: D

Explanation

The correct answer, D, is essential because clarifying high-level business requirements helps establish a clear framework for the project's deliverables. Options A and C focus on gathering opinions or comparing with others, which are less critical at this stage. Option B addresses contractual issues but does not contribute to developing the project management plan.
