    PMP · Question 83 · Task 1: Plan and manage project compliance

    A project manager is working on a compliance project where the regulatory requirements are complex and subject to interpretation. The legal team and the technical team have different interpretations of a key requirement, which is affecting the project approach. Both interpretations seem reasonable, but they lead to significantly different implementation strategies. What should the project manager do?

    Answer options:

    A.

    Choose the legal team's interpretation since they are the compliance experts

    B.

    Implement both interpretations to ensure compliance

    C.

    Seek clarification from the regulatory agency on the specific requirement interpretation

    D.

    Choose the interpretation that requires less project effort

    How to approach this question

    When regulatory requirements are ambiguous and interpretations conflict, seek authoritative clarification from the regulatory agency rather than making assumptions.

    Full Answer

    C.Seek clarification from the regulatory agency on the specific requirement interpretation✓ Correct
    Regulatory compliance requires accurate interpretation of requirements. When expert teams disagree on ambiguous requirements, the regulatory agency is the authoritative source for clarification.

    Common mistakes

    Choosing interpretations based on expertise alone, implementing multiple approaches, or making decisions based on project convenience rather than regulatory accuracy.
