PMP · Question 17 · Task 1: Execute project with the urgency required to deliver business value

A project manager needs to assess opportunities to deliver value incrementally in a large enterprise software implementation. The traditional approach would deliver the entire system after 18 months, but stakeholders are concerned about the long wait for business benefits. What should the project manager do FIRST to identify incremental value delivery opportunities?

Answer options:

A.

Analyze the business processes and identify which modules can deliver standalone value

B.

Divide the 18-month timeline into six 3-month phases for regular delivery milestones

C.

Implement an agile methodology to enable iterative development and delivery

D.

Survey stakeholders to determine their preferred delivery schedule and priorities

How to approach this question

Focus on understanding what business value can be delivered independently before considering delivery schedules, methodologies, or stakeholder preferences.

Full Answer

A.Analyze the business processes and identify which modules can deliver standalone value✓ Correct
Incremental value delivery requires understanding which system components can provide standalone business benefits. This analysis enables meaningful delivery planning that provides real value to stakeholders.

Common mistakes

Students often choose methodology changes (C) or timeline division (B), missing the need to first understand what value can actually be delivered incrementally.
