Project Management Professional (PMP) — Question 996

A team is testing a product on multiple radio frequencies. The project manager is informed that a new government policy, expected in 2 weeks, will mandate companies to obtain approval and licensing for frequency testing. The team has completed 80% of the testing and needs 4 weeks to complete the remaining tests.

Which two actions should the project manager take until the approval is received? (Choose two.)

Answer options

• A. Hire a vendor with the required expertise and infrastructure to complete the testing.
• B. Stop testing immediately and escalate the issue to senior management for a decision.
• C. Allow testing to continue for the complete duration as the policy may not apply to ongoing projects.
• D. Update the project risk checklist to consider licensing and approvals for risk identification.
• E. Reallocate the testing resources to complete testing early before the policy takes effect.

Correct answer: D, E

Explanation

The correct answers are D and E. Updating the project risk checklist is crucial to identify potential issues related to licensing and approvals, ensuring that the project remains compliant. Reallocating resources to finish testing early is a proactive approach to mitigate delays caused by the upcoming policy. Options A, B, and C do not effectively address the need to prepare for the new regulation or complete testing in time.
