PMP Question #581: Real Exam Question with Answer & Explanation

Question

An organization is using a hybrid delivery approach for a business project. The product owner, the person who was also managing the project, was promoted to a more senior role. A new project lead has joined the project. Which artifact should the project lead use to ensure that the project benefits have been identified?

Options

• AStatement of work (SOW)
• BBusiness case
• CProduct backlog
• DSolution architecture

Explanation

To ensure project benefits are identified in a hybrid project with a new lead, the business case is the artifact that clearly defines the project's justification and expected benefits.

Common mistakes.

• A. A Statement of Work (SOW) describes the work to be performed or the services to be delivered, focusing on scope rather than the benefits.
• C. A product backlog is a prioritized list of features, functions, requirements, and enhancements that a product team plans to develop, focusing on product delivery, not overall project benefits.
• D. Solution architecture describes the structural aspects of a solution, focusing on technical design rather than the business benefits that justify the project.
