A project manager is meeting with the project sponsor regarding a new project.

PMI PMP Question Answer

The project manager tells the sponsor that, as part of the communications management

plan, a weekly email will be sent with the status of the project, so the sponsor can be

informed of the progress. The sponsor indicates that the email is not necessary because

they will ask for a status update whenever it is needed.

What should the project manager do next?

Advise the project sponsor to request a 15-minute meeting, whenever necessary, with prior notification.

Agree to the project sponsor's request, but continue to copy them on the weekly email so they can be informed of progress in case it is needed.

Tell the project sponsor that if they prefer to not receive the communication, there is no problem in removing them from the email distribution.

Ask the project sponsor what sort of information is needed and agree on a frequency for the communication.
