PMP Practice Question 2013 - Process
A project is in its fourth iteration out of eight with a delivery performance of 95%. A project stakeholder asks the project manager about the status of a specific deliverable not visible in the status report. What should the project manager do?
- A.Schedule a meeting with the stakeholder to review the status report
- ✓ Correct B.Invite the stakeholder to the next iteration review
- C.Include the deliverable in the status report and resend it to the stakeholder
- D.Invite the stakeholder to the next daily meeting
Correct answer: B
Explanation
When a stakeholder inquires about a deliverable not visible in the status report, the project manager should invite the stakeholder to the next iteration review (sprint review). In agile, the iteration review is the structured forum where the team demonstrates completed work and stakeholders can validate progress, ask questions, and provide feedback. This provides direct inspection of the working product rather than relying on secondary artifacts. Scheduling a separate meeting to review the report (A) adds overhead without improving visibility. Including the deliverable in the report and resending it (C) is reactive and may still lack sufficient context. Inviting the stakeholder to a daily meeting (D) is inappropriate—daily standups are for team synchronization, not stakeholder deliverable validation.
