PMP · Question 97 · Task 2: Manage communications
A project manager is working on a project where the client has requested frequent status updates and progress demonstrations. However, the development team feels that preparing for these updates and demos is taking significant time away from actual development work. The client insists these updates are necessary for their stakeholder management. How should the project manager balance these competing needs?
Answer options:
Eliminate the frequent updates to maximize development productivity
Work with both parties to streamline the update process while meeting essential information needs
Continue with all requested updates since the client is paying for the project
Assign a dedicated person to handle all client communications
