PMI PMP Question Answer

Halfway through a project, the project sponsor is replaced by another peer who was not previously engaged in the project. The new project sponsor has rejected most of the project artifacts, and the team did not get the latest increment approved on the current iteration. Stakeholders are not feeling confident about the project outcome.

What should the project manager have done to prevent this situation?

Performed a stakeholder analysis when the sponsor joined the project

Held a governance meeting to review the project increment

Conducted a product iteration review with the new project sponsor

Escalated the issue to ensure the increment would be approved
