PMP Practice Question 1013 - People
An adaptive project is in the planning phase. The project manager is developing a communications management plan to distribute critical, project-related information and updates. Which approach should the project manager take?
- A.Employ verbal techniques to share project-related information and updates.
- B.Install push communication to share project-related information and updates.
- ✓ Correct C.Apply information radiators to share project-related information and updates.
- D.Implement pull communication to share project-related information and updates.
Correct answer: C
Explanation
In agile and adaptive settings, information radiators serve as essential communication mechanisms. These are continuously updated visual displays—such as task boards and burn-down charts—that remain accessible to all stakeholders at all times. They foster transparency, provide real-time status visibility, and support self-organizing team dynamics. The Agile Practice Guide endorses information radiators as a recommended practice for enabling fast, highly visible communication. Pull communication (D) puts the burden on stakeholders to actively seek updates, which limits transparency. Push communication (B) has value but falls short of the real-time visibility that agile environments demand. Verbal techniques (A) tend to be informal and have limited reach across the team.
