PMP Practice Question 526 - Business Environment
A project manager acquired information from the market that would reduce the business value being delivered by an ongoing project. Based on that information, the project manager believes the project should be stopped. How should the project manager handle the situation?
- A.Have a discussion with the project sponsor and cancel the project
- B.Continue working on the defined scope and review the risk matrix
- C.Remove the items no longer applicable from the backlog and present the backlog to the project team
- ✓ Correct D.Have a discussion with the sponsor and recommend the project business value be reassessed
Correct answer: D
Explanation
When market information indicates an ongoing project's business value will be significantly reduced, the project manager should discuss with the sponsor and recommend the project business value be reassessed. Sponsor involvement in value reassessment is proper governance. Canceling without analysis (A) is premature. Continuing with defined scope (B) ignores new information. Removing backlog items (C) acts without sponsor authorization.
