    PMP · Question 22 · Task 8: Plan and manage scope

    A project manager is working on a digital transformation initiative where the business stakeholders keep adding new requirements and features throughout the project. The scope has grown by 30% from the original plan, but the timeline and budget remain fixed. The development team is concerned about technical debt and quality impacts. What should the project manager do FIRST?

    Answer options:

    A.

    Facilitate a prioritization session with stakeholders to identify the most valuable features within the original scope constraints

    B.

    Implement a formal change control process to prevent further scope additions

    C.

    Negotiate with stakeholders to increase the budget and timeline to accommodate the expanded scope

    D.

    Ask the development team to work overtime to deliver all the requested features

    How to approach this question
