PMP · Question 60 · Task 9: Integrate project planning activities

A project manager is integrating plans from multiple workstreams for a large organizational transformation project. During integration analysis, they discover that the training plan assumes all system changes will be completed before training begins, but the system implementation plan shows a phased rollout over six months. This creates a significant integration gap. What should the project manager do FIRST?

Answer options:

A.

Modify the training plan to align with the phased system implementation approach

B.

Analyze all workstream dependencies to understand the full impact of the integration gap on project objectives

C.

Change the system implementation to complete all changes before training begins

D.

Schedule a meeting with both workstream leads to negotiate a compromise solution

How to approach this question

When integration gaps are discovered, analyze all dependencies and impacts before making changes to ensure solutions optimize overall project outcomes.

Full Answer

B.Analyze all workstream dependencies to understand the full impact of the integration gap on project objectives✓ Correct
B
Project integration requires understanding all workstream dependencies and their impacts on project objectives before making changes. This prevents solutions that fix one issue but create others.

Common mistakes

Students often choose immediate workstream modifications (A or C) or bilateral negotiation (D), missing the need for comprehensive dependency analysis first.
