People and Stakeholders Practice Question

Question

A test item asks for the most accurate explanation for the PMP Project Management Professional involving schedule compression in People and Stakeholders. Which answer is best? (Item 186)

Answer choices

1. A. Assume the requirement applies only when the customer specifically asks about it.
2. B. The best answer is to select the response that protects project value, uses appropriate tailoring, engages stakeholders, and follows ethical project management practice for the schedule compression scenario.
3. C. Prioritize convenience over safety, compliance, or accurate reasoning.
4. D. Ignore the issue because speed is more important than documentation or accuracy.

Correct Answer

B. The best answer is to select the response that protects project value, uses appropriate tailoring, engages stakeholders, and follows ethical project management practice for the schedule compression scenario.

Explanation

The correct answer is B because schedule compression is tested by asking candidates to select the response that protects project value, uses appropriate tailoring, engages stakeholders, and follows ethical project management practice. The distractors reflect common exam mistakes: ignoring context, using informal shortcuts, skipping verification, or applying a rule from the wrong domain.
