Risk and Governance Practice Question

Question

A real-world workflow requires a practical decision for the PMP Project Management Professional involving issue escalation in Risk and Governance. Which option best reduces risk or error? (Item 158)

Answer choices

1. A. Prioritize convenience over safety, compliance, or accurate reasoning.
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 issue escalation scenario.
3. C. Ignore the issue because speed is more important than documentation or accuracy.
4. D. Assume the requirement applies only when the customer specifically asks about it.

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 issue escalation scenario.

Explanation

The correct answer is B because issue escalation 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.
