PMP Practice Question 838 - Process
A new regulation has been approved that will impact the deliverables in the fourth phase of the project. The delivery is following an iterative approach and is currently completing the second phase. What should the project manager do next?
- A.Consult with the project sponsor to discuss a cost increase
- ✓ Correct B.Meet with subject matter experts (SMEs) to assess the impact to objectives
- C.Acquire approval for an exception to the implementation of the new regulation.
- D.Get approval for the additional budget from the steering committee
Correct answer: B
Explanation
When a new regulation will impact fourth-phase deliverables while completing the second phase using an iterative approach, the project manager should meet with SMEs to assess the impact on objectives. Expert assessment provides informed understanding. Consulting the sponsor about cost increase (A) is premature. Seeking an exception (C) may not be feasible. Getting budget approval from the steering committee (D) assumes cost impact before assessment.
