PMP Question #958: Real Exam Question with Answer & Explanation

Question

Three testers joined the project team just before the end of the build. During the project team meeting, the testers indicated that the project quality is poor, and they should not continue testing until all the defects are fixed. Which three actions should the project manager do? (Choose three.)

Options

• AStop the project and review the output.
• BAsk the testers to provide additional information.
• CBrainstorm the issue with the project team.
• DContinue with testing according to the plan.
• EAsk the sponsor for assistance and guidance.

Explanation

When new testers report poor quality, the project manager should seek specific information from them, involve the team in brainstorming solutions, and continue testing as planned to gather objective data.

Common mistakes.

• A. Stopping the project prematurely based on initial feedback, especially from new team members, is an overreaction and could cause significant and unnecessary delays.
• E. Escalating to the sponsor is a later step, only after the project team has thoroughly investigated the issue, understood its impact, and explored potential internal solutions.
