PMI-RMP Question 57

Community Discussion

Written by other learners. Comments can disagree with the marked answer — check the official documentation when in doubt.

• Chose D1

  Why: The consultant was hired by the sponsor to evaluate the program. The first obligation is to report findings back to the sponsor — that's the entire purpose of the engagement. Nothing should be acted on unilaterally before the sponsor is informed. Elimination: A — Cancelling or hiring a new manager is a sponsor-level decision, not the consultant's to make unilaterally ✗ B — Adjusting the risk management plan is premature before reporting findings to the sponsor ✗ C — Creating missing documentation without sponsor awareness skips the reporting obligation entirely ✗ D — Report → review → corrective action together with sponsor = correct sequence ✓

  Decision rule to remember: Consultant's first move is always to report findings to whoever hired them, before taking any corrective action.
