PMP Practice Question 763 - Process
A project is nearing finalization and just released the final product to the customer. The assigned project manager left the company without notice and without sharing any information or documents for the remaining activities. A new project manager has just been assigned to the project. What should the new project manager do next?
- A.Document the project manager ' s departure and the missing documents in the risk log.
- ✓ Correct B.Prepare a transition plan to hand over the operations and other closing documentation.
- C.Schedule a lessons learned meeting with the project team and close out the project.
- D.Use the contingency fund to extend the timeline and conduct a detailed review of past deliverables.
Correct answer: B
Explanation
When the previous PM left without sharing information and the final product is already delivered, the new project manager should prepare a transition plan to hand over operations and other closing documentation. Formal closure activities ensure proper knowledge transfer and administrative completion. Documenting the departure in the risk log (A) tracks the incident but does not advance closure. Scheduling a lessons learned meeting and closing out (C) skips transition planning. Using contingency funds for a detailed review (D) is unnecessary if the product is already delivered.
