Exam PMP topic 1 question 202 discussion

Known issue is already known. It is no longer a risk

D. Review the quality control processes and procedures.

If there are known issues in production, it is important for the project manager to review the quality control processes and procedures to understand why these issues were not identified and addressed before the product was released. This review can help identify gaps in the testing and quality assurance practices that may be contributing to the production issues. Once these gaps are identified, the project manager can take steps to improve the processes and prevent similar issues in future integrations. Here's why the other options are less suitable: A. Identify and remove impediments and mitigate the risks - While it is part of the project manager's role to address impediments and mitigate risks, this option does not directly address the root cause of the known issues in production.

D - this is a production issue and not an impediment to development. Hence, the need to review the quality control and assurance.

Why A? "Identify and remove impediments" is correct, but not mitigate the risks, It already became an issue now.

since the issues are known , next step is to remove the impediments

A. Identify and remove impediments and mitigate the risks.

A. Identify and remove impediments and mitigate the risks

If we assume that the question talks about some issues in the production environment of the existing systems that need to be integrated as part of the ongoing project's scope, that yes, from a project perspective, it is a risk not an issue.

Option A is correct. As the issues need to be identified, removed and the issues mitigated

Is it the PM's job to identify impediments? The answer should be "C" because there is a quality issue identified so the PM should provide oversight to the quality processes.

According to Chat GPT: As the company is working on a project to develop an integration of their existing systems and there are known issues in production, the project manager should focus on identifying and removing impediments and mitigating risks. Therefore, option A is the most appropriate choice. While ensuring the product owner reviews requirements with the team (option B), including acceptance criteria in the definition of done (DoD) (option C), and reviewing the quality control processes and procedures (option D) are all important tasks, they are not the most critical tasks in this scenario. The priority is to address the known issues in production and ensure that the project moves forward smoothly, without any roadblocks or impediments.

in question it is stated as an issue, so it is not a risk, option A gets eliminated there. Option D mentions reviewing the quality process which is better option

I would pled for D...any other opinion?

I tend to D, the Question did not mention anything about risks. although if there are known issues in production, that means that the QA process is flaw.
