    PMP · Question 26 · Task 11: Plan and manage procurement

    A project manager is working on a complex integration project involving multiple vendors. One vendor consistently delivers components that meet specifications but require significant additional work to integrate with other systems. What should the project manager do to address this recurring issue?

    Answer options:

    A.

    Work with the vendor to improve their understanding of integration requirements and establish better acceptance criteria

    B.

    Accept the additional integration work as part of the project scope since the components meet specifications

    C.

    Replace the vendor with one that has better integration experience

    D.

    Assign internal resources to handle all integration work for this vendor's components

    How to approach this question

    Look for collaborative approaches that address root causes rather than treating symptoms or making drastic changes without attempting resolution.
