PMP Practice Question 638 - Process
A project manager submits several requests to purchase required hardware and knows from previous experience that this kind of procurement usually results in disputes between the company and its suppliers. How can the project manager mitigate this risk in the request for proposal (RFP) with suppliers?
- A.Request approval of the RFP from the project sponsor.
- ✓ Correct B.Ask the legal team to review the RFP.
- C.Request approval of the RFP from management.
- D.Ask the project team to submit the RFP.
Correct answer: B
Explanation
When past procurement experience indicates likely disputes with suppliers, the project manager should ask the legal team to review the RFP. Legal review ensures contractual clarity and reduces dispute risk. Requesting sponsor approval (A) does not mitigate legal risks. Requesting management approval (C) adds bureaucracy without legal expertise. Asking the project team to submit (D) lacks legal or procurement expertise.
