PMP Practice Question 1751 - Business Environment
A project manager has just received communication from an operational functional manager to complete an additional scope item for a project that was formally closed a few weeks ago. The scope looks relatively small and simple to handle as part of the daily operations activity. How should the project manager deal with this request?
- A.Confirm that the budget and resources are available to execute the work request.
- B.Check the alternative resources available in the organization for the request.
- C.Submit a change request and allocate the budget and resources needed for execution.
- ✓ Correct D.Evaluate the nature of the request and plan communication accordingly.
Correct answer: D
Explanation
When a formally closed project receives a request for additional scope from a functional manager, the project manager should evaluate the nature of the request and plan communication accordingly. This involves assessing whether the request aligns with operational activities, understanding its implications, and coordinating with relevant stakeholders before taking action. Confirming budget and resource availability (A) assumes execution before evaluation. Checking alternative resources (B) skips the evaluation step. Submitting a change request (C) is inappropriate since the project is already closed.
