PMP Practice Question 663 - Process
A facility extension project is in the execution stage. There is a project activity to connect the power of all new equipment to an existing facility, Point A, which requires a significant cable length. The construction team found that the power could be connected to Point B and save money. What should the project manager do next?
- A.Seek a decision from the construction team after explaining the project budget and schedule constraint.
- B.Use the Point B option because it will save the project cost and time.
- C.Add the issue to the change log and request additional budget through the change control board (CCB).
- ✓ Correct D.Perform a cost-benefit analysis to evaluate using the Point B option.
Correct answer: D
Explanation
When the construction team finds a cheaper power connection option (Point B) versus the specified Point A, the project manager should perform a cost-benefit analysis to evaluate the Point B option. Systematic evaluation ensures informed decision-making. Seeking the construction team's decision (A) delegates PM authority. Using Point B without analysis (B) bypasses evaluation. Adding to the change log and requesting budget through the CCB (C) acts before analyzing the merit.
