    PMP · Question 94 · Task 8: Plan and manage scope

    A project manager is working on a project where the client has requested a feature that would require significant changes to the system architecture. The development team estimates this would take 6 weeks and create technical debt that could affect future maintenance. The feature would provide moderate business value. What should the project manager do?

    Answer options:

    A.

    Recommend against the feature due to the architectural impact and technical debt concerns

    B.

    Present the client with a comprehensive analysis of business value, architectural impact, technical debt implications, and alternative approaches

    C.

    Implement the feature as requested since the client understands their business needs best

    D.

    Propose alternative implementations that provide similar business value with less architectural impact

    How to approach this question

    When features require significant architectural changes, provide comprehensive analysis of business value, technical impact, and alternatives to enable informed client decisions.

    Full Answer

    B.Present the client with a comprehensive analysis of business value, architectural impact, technical debt implications, and alternative approaches✓ Correct
    Architectural decisions involve complex trade-offs between business value and technical costs. Clients need complete information about implications and alternatives to make informed decisions.

    Common mistakes

    Either making technical recommendations or implementing without ensuring the client understands the full architectural implications and long-term costs.
