Exam PMP topic 1 question 44 discussion

D. Agree with the client on acceptance criteria Explanation: When the customer provides a new set of quality standards that must be met for the final product, it is important for the project manager to ensure a smooth delivery by agreeing with the client on acceptance criteria. Acceptance criteria define the specific conditions and requirements that the final product must meet to be accepted by the client.

According to Chat GPT: D. Agree with the client on acceptance criteria. When a customer provides a project manager with a new set of quality standards, the project manager should work with the customer to establish clear acceptance criteria that meet the new standards. The acceptance criteria should be measurable and should outline specific objectives that the final product must meet to be considered acceptable. By agreeing with the client on acceptance criteria, the project manager can ensure that the final product meets the customer's expectations and the new quality standards. This will help to prevent any misunderstandings or disagreements about the quality of the final product and ensure a smooth delivery of the product.

Option D. in question, we are in the planning phase and Agree with the client on the acceptance criteria

I think its D as quality is directly associated with acceptance criteria.

D. Agree with the client on acceptance criteria

C. Involve the client in a performance gap analysis is the correct answer.

D. Agree with the client on acceptance criteria Since the customer provides a new standard he/she must agree with the acceptance criteria including the new standard given by him/her.

Any new addition to the project introduce new risk. Any new control implemented introduces new risk which is also referred to as secondary risk. Adding new quality requirement affect the project triple constraints ( cost, scope and time). So before proceeding on any events, the PM should engage the customer in Risk Identification to determine what new risk will be introduced into the project on implementing a new quality requirement. The project baseline will definitely change and this will have to go through the Integrated Change Control process. So the first thing to do is to apply A before agreeing with the client on any acceptance criteria. A is the best answer to this question.

Quality requirements are part of collect requirements process which outputs the requirements documentation project document that contains the acceptance criteria

The plan is just being finalized so a risk analysis should be done on any additional standard by which the outcome will be accepted which means time will likely be impacted, resource type might be impacted, and cost might be impacted. I don't think just agreeing immediately on acceptance criteria is the answer

Project charter to be updated

D is correct!

D. Agree with the client on acceptance criteria

The question is talking about "quality" not "risk"... D is the answer IMHO

D is answer

D. Final product must adhere to new quality standards so new acceptance criteria. No need for new project charter & no need to involve client in performance gap analysis.

Any change will require a risk analysis.
