    PMP · Question 25 · Task 9: Integrate project planning activities

    A project manager is integrating plans from multiple workstreams including development, testing, infrastructure, and training. During the integration analysis, they discover that the testing plan assumes a 2-week testing period, but the development plan shows features being delivered throughout the final month. This creates a dependency gap that could impact the go-live date. What should the project manager do FIRST?

    Answer options:

    A.

    Extend the testing period to accommodate the development delivery schedule

    B.

    Analyze the dependency relationships and assess the impact on the overall project timeline

    C.

    Ask the development team to accelerate their delivery to complete before testing begins

    D.

    Implement parallel testing and development to reduce the overall timeline

    How to approach this question

    When integrating plans reveals dependency gaps, analyze the full impact before making changes to ensure solutions don't create other integration issues.

    Full Answer

    B.Analyze the dependency relationships and assess the impact on the overall project timeline✓ Correct
    B
    Project integration requires understanding all dependency relationships and their impacts before making changes. This prevents solutions that fix one issue but create others.

    Common mistakes

    Students often choose immediate solutions (A, C, or D) without recognizing the need for comprehensive dependency analysis to ensure integration decisions don't create other problems.
