    PMP · Question 53 · Task 3: Evaluate and address external business environment changes for impact on scope

    A project manager is working on a project where the original business case assumed certain market conditions that have significantly changed. The project is 60% complete and technically on track, but the changed market conditions mean the expected return on investment will be much lower than originally projected. What should the project manager do?

    Answer options:

    A.

    Continue the project as planned since it's already 60% complete

    B.

    Analyze the current business case and present options to stakeholders for decision-making

    C.

    Modify the project scope to reduce costs and improve the return on investment

    D.

    Accelerate the project timeline to reduce costs and improve the business case

    How to approach this question

    When external changes affect the business case, provide stakeholders with updated analysis and options rather than making unilateral project decisions.
