PMP · Question 60 · Task 3: Assess and manage risks

A project manager is leading a software development project where the client has requested a feature that would require integration with a legacy system. The integration is possible but would significantly increase project complexity and risk. The feature would provide moderate business value. What should the project manager do?

Answer options:

A.

Recommend against the feature due to the complexity and risk it introduces

B.

Present the client with a clear analysis of the complexity, risks, costs, and benefits to enable an informed decision

C.

Implement the feature as requested since the client is paying for the project

D.

Propose alternative approaches that might provide similar business value with less complexity

How to approach this question

When clients request features with significant complexity or risk, provide complete information to enable informed business decisions rather than making the decision for them.
