    PMP · Question 35 · Task 2: Evaluate and deliver project benefits and value

    A project manager is leading an initiative to implement a new customer relationship management (CRM) system. Six months after go-live, the project manager needs to evaluate whether the project is delivering the expected business benefits. Initial metrics show that customer response time has improved by 15%, but sales conversion rates have only improved by 2% against a target of 10%. What should the project manager do FIRST?

    Answer options:

    A.

    Report the current metrics to stakeholders and recommend additional system enhancements

    B.

    Extend the measurement period since benefits realization often takes longer than expected

    C.

    Investigate the factors contributing to the gap between expected and actual sales conversion improvements

    D.

    Adjust the benefit targets to reflect the actual system performance capabilities

    How to approach this question

    When benefits realization is below expectations, investigate root causes before reporting results or making adjustments to understand what corrective actions are needed.

    Full Answer

    C.Investigate the factors contributing to the gap between expected and actual sales conversion improvements✓ Correct
    C
    Benefits realization management requires investigating root causes when actual benefits fall short of expectations. This enables development of corrective actions to achieve intended business value.

    Common mistakes

    Students often choose immediate reporting (A) or target adjustment (D), missing the need for root cause investigation to understand and address benefit realization gaps.
