PMP Question #118: Real Exam Question with Answer & Explanation

Question

A project is approaching successful completion, and all stakeholders are really proud of the achieved results. The project management office (PMO) recommends the project manager to lead the next similar project. What should the project manager do next?

Options

• AEngage key stakeholders to complete and deliver lessons learned.
• BSelect the same stakeholders for the next project to avoid doing knowledge transfer.
• CPresent the project achievements and delegate knowledge transfer to the steering committee.
• DRequest the PMO to manage the lessons learned repository.

Explanation

Following successful project completion, the project manager should immediately engage key stakeholders to complete and document lessons learned for organizational benefit.

Common mistakes.

• B. Selecting the same stakeholders for the next project is not a substitute for formal lessons learned and might not be appropriate for the new project's specific needs.
• C. Presenting achievements is distinct from knowledge transfer; delegating the primary responsibility of capturing lessons learned to a steering committee is inappropriate, as it is a project team responsibility.
• D. While the PMO manages the repository, the project manager's responsibility is to actively contribute the specific lessons learned from their project, not to request the PMO manage the entire process for them.
