Project Management Professional (PMP) — Question 994

While managing a project using a hybrid approach, the project manager realizes that there is a high level of rework due to quality issues. Because of that, each feature is taking longer than initially estimated.

What should the project manager do to address the issue?

Answer options

• A. Address the issue during the next sprint planning meeting.
• B. Extend the dates for future project milestones.
• C. Initiate a change request to extend the project end date.
• D. Escalate the issue to the project sponsor.

Correct answer: A

Explanation

The correct answer is A because discussing the issue during the next sprint planning meeting allows the team to address quality concerns and adjust their approach immediately. Options B and C do not directly solve the underlying quality problems and only postpone the issue, while D may escalate the situation unnecessarily without first attempting resolution within the team.
