PMP Practice Question 1638 - Process
A key stakeholder is upset because the final product delivery has been postponed for the third time. The project manager meets with the stakeholder and discovers that there is a risk of revenue impact if a new feature is not released in 1 month. What should the project manager do?
- A.Direct the development team to work on this requirement right away.

- ✓ Correct C.Ask the product owner to determine if this requirement needs to be treated as a top priority.
- D.Inform the stakeholder that the new requirement will be considered in the next release planning session.
Correct answer: C
Explanation
When a key stakeholder faces revenue risk if a new feature is not released within one month, the project manager should ask the product owner to determine if this requirement needs to be treated as a top priority. The product owner manages backlog prioritization based on business value. Directing the team immediately (A) bypasses prioritization. Informing the sponsor and asking for prioritization (B) adds unnecessary escalation. Deferring to the next release planning session (D) may miss the deadline.
