PMP · Question 87 · Task 1: Execute project with the urgency required to deliver business value

A project manager is leading a large-scale system modernization project that could deliver significant business value through improved efficiency and cost reduction. However, the project is complex with multiple integration points, and stakeholders are concerned about the 18-month timeline before seeing any benefits. What should the project manager do FIRST to address the business value delivery concerns?

Answer options:

A.

Accelerate the project timeline to deliver the complete system sooner

B.

Analyze the system components to identify opportunities for incremental value delivery throughout the project

C.

Provide detailed business case updates to reassure stakeholders about the eventual value

D.

Implement a phased delivery approach with regular milestone celebrations

How to approach this question

When stakeholders are concerned about long wait times for value, analyze opportunities for incremental value delivery rather than just accelerating timelines or managing expectations.

Full Answer

B.Analyze the system components to identify opportunities for incremental value delivery throughout the project✓ Correct
B
Business value delivery requires identifying system components or capabilities that can provide standalone benefits before complete system implementation, enabling incremental value realization.

Common mistakes
