    PMP · Question 38 · Task 17: Plan and manage project/phase closure or transitions

    A project is transitioning from the development phase to the testing phase. The development team has completed their work, but the testing team reports that the deliverables don't meet the entry criteria for testing due to incomplete documentation and missing test data. The development team is already assigned to a new project. What should the project manager do?

    Answer options:

    A.

    Ask the testing team to proceed with testing using available information

    B.

    Work with both teams to resolve the entry criteria gaps before proceeding with the transition

    C.

    Escalate to management to get the development team reassigned to complete the missing work

    D.

    Update the entry criteria to match what the development team has delivered

    How to approach this question

    Phase transitions require meeting defined criteria. Work collaboratively to resolve gaps rather than lowering standards or forcing transitions.
