PMP Practice Question 701 - People
A project manager was just assigned to an ongoing project. According to the project's status, all the increments produced passed the acceptance criteria. During the last meeting with the project sponsor, the prototype is far from the sponsor's original expectations. What should the project manager do first?
- A.Invite the sponsor to the retrospective meeting so they can clarify expectations.
- B.Cancel the ongoing project and start a new one.
- C.Complete the project and start a new one for the updated scope.
- ✓ Correct D.Add additional sprints to modify the deliverables with the new information.
Correct answer: D
Explanation
When all increments passed acceptance criteria but the prototype does not meet the sponsor's expectations, the project manager should first add additional sprints to modify deliverables with new information. Iterative refinement addresses expectation gaps. Inviting the sponsor to a retrospective (A) mixes roles. Canceling and restarting (B) is wasteful. Completing and starting a new project (C) delays correction.
