PMI PMP Dumps

The project manager should consult with the project management office (PMO) for guidance on project artifacts, as the PMO is responsible for establishing and maintaining the project management standards, policies, and procedures within the organization. The PMO can advise the project manager on the best practices and requirements for archiving the project artifacts, even for a cancelled project. Archiving the project artifacts is important for capturing the lessons learned, maintaining the organizational knowledge, and complying with the legal and ethical obligations. The other options are not as effective or appropriate as consulting with the PMO. Complying with the project sponsor’s request to not archive the project artifacts may result in losing valuable information and violating the professional code of conduct. Documenting the project sponsor’s instructions as the archived project artifacts may not be sufficient or accurate, and may create confusion and conflict in the future. Archiving the project artifacts on the project manager’s local computer may not be secure or accessible, and may not follow the organizational standards and processes. References:

The project manager should address the communication needs of all stakeholders and ensure that they are satisfied with the level and frequency of information they receive. The best way to do this is to discuss the issue with all stakeholders and work on a communications management plan that defines the communication requirements, methods, formats, frequency, and responsibilities for each stakeholder group. This will help to avoid misunderstandings, conflicts, and complaints in the future. Recording the meeting and sharing it with the stakeholders who missed it (option C) is a good practice, but it does not solve the root cause of the problem. Ensuring that the stakeholders who are complaining are present for the next meeting (option B) or changing the meeting time to their time zone (option D) are not feasible or fair solutions, as they may create inconvenience or dissatisfaction for other stakeholders. The project manager should consider the time zones of all stakeholders and try to find a suitable time that works for most of them, or use alternative communication methods such as email, video, or audio recordings. References:

The project manager should meet with the project team to assess their current skills and identify any gaps or training needs that may affect the project execution. This is part of the Plan Resource Management process, which involves determining the project roles, responsibilities, required skills, and reporting relationships1. Sending the list to the project team and asking them to get training on the required skills (A) is not a proactive or effective way of managing the project resources. Asking the functional manager to review the resource pool and recommend the right individuals to join the team (B) is not feasible since the project team has already been assigned. Discussing the list with the project sponsor to confirm that the resources have the required skills © is not the responsibility of the project sponsor, who is mainly concerned with the project benefits and alignment with the strategic objectives2. References:
