PMP Question #220: Real Exam Question with Answer & Explanation

Question

A project manager is working on a major construction project. Part of the agreed-upon plan was to use a cloud-based system with a server that runs on high- speed internet service since most of the team members work virtually. The company needs to reduce operating costs as much as possible and management insists that the project will now use a system running on a conventional dial-up service. What should the project manager do next?

Options

• AAgree with management and continue working the project management plan.
• BEvaluate the impact of this decision and communicate with management.
• CReplace some of the team members that work virtually to help the company save money.
• DMeet with management about their decision and ask them to get another project manager.

Explanation

Management has proposed a significant change to the project's infrastructure, which contradicts the initial plan; the project manager must first assess and communicate the full impact of this decision.

Common mistakes.

• A. Agreeing without evaluating the impact would be irresponsible, risking project failure and ignoring the approved plan's requirements.

Concept tested. Change impact assessment, stakeholder communication
