Exam PMP topic 1 question 35 discussion

The project manager was demonstrating a focus on the project evaluation and selection processes, suggesting that the issues with low ROI or operational improvements may have been caused by flaws in the decision-making process rather than the solutions themselves. Therefore, the correct answer is B. Cause-and-effect identification in root cause analysis toward achieving project value. The project manager is attempting to identify the root cause of the problem to address it properly and improve the overall effectiveness of future project evaluation and selection processes.

Why B?

The correct answer is B

i dont know why its B but PMI infinity said so , so i chose b

Fish Bone B, the PM is saying because they picked the wrong projects the required value was not given. The expectation did not align with outcome (end result)

The project manager's action goes beyond just negotiating budget priorities (Option C) or addressing project impediments (Option D). It also moves past considering the stages of team development (Option A). Instead, it directly addresses the need to examine and potentially revise the criteria or methods used to evaluate and select projects, ensuring that future projects are better aligned with achieving significant operational improvements and ROI.

C. Strategic negotiation techniques in determining budget priorities in future sessions

The right option is D

D is the answer

The Controller is talking about projects that are over. Moving forward, Controller is trying to reduce budgets because the past projects resulted in little ROI. The project manager is “objecting” to the decrease in budgets and trying to negotiate by suggesting a better project evaluation and selection. I would vote for the choice C - Strategic negotiation not to reduce budgets for future projects.
