    PMP · Question 89 · Task 3: Evaluate and address external business environment changes for impact on scope

    A project manager is working on a project where the original scope included integration with a third-party system. The third-party vendor has announced that they are discontinuing the system and will not provide integration support after the project's planned go-live date. Alternative integration options exist but would require significant scope changes. What should the project manager do FIRST?

    Answer options:

    A.

    Assess the impact of the vendor discontinuation on project objectives and timeline

    B.

    Immediately begin evaluating alternative integration solutions

    C.

    Negotiate with the vendor to extend support through the project timeline

    D.

    Remove the integration requirement from the project scope

    How to approach this question

    When external dependencies are eliminated, assess the full impact on project objectives before evaluating solutions or making scope decisions.

    Full Answer

    A.Assess the impact of the vendor discontinuation on project objectives and timeline✓ Correct
    External dependency changes require thorough impact assessment to understand implications for project objectives, timeline, and scope. This information enables informed stakeholder decision-making about response options.

    Common mistakes

    Immediately jumping to solutions, trying to negotiate unavailable support, or making scope decisions without stakeholder input and impact assessment.
