A company is starting a critical project with a strict deadline. During the first planning meeting, the team realizes that the list of requirements has too many items to allow on-time delivery. What should the project manager do first?
A.
Update the risk register and present a contingency plan to meet the deadline.
B.
Suggest to the customer to reduce the backlog to meet the date.
C.
Increase the capacity of the team to finish the project on time.
D.
Ask the team to propose a minimum viable product (MVP) to meet the date.
Could it be A? Since it is the first planning meeting and the question is asking what the PM should do first. Proposing a MVP can be part of the contingency plan.
The correct answer is D. Ask the team to propose a minimum viable product (MVP) to meet the date.
When faced with a project that has too many requirements to meet the deadline, the project manager's first step should be to ask the team to propose a minimum viable product (MVP) to meet the deadline. The MVP is the minimum set of features that will deliver value to the customer and can be delivered within the given timeframe. The team should focus on delivering the core functionality of the product, leaving non-essential features for later releases.
Ask the team to propose a minimum viable product (MVP) to meet the date. By focusing on delivering an MVP, the team can prioritize the most critical features that provide value to the customer while ensuring the project stays on track. This approach allows for a functional product by the deadline and can be expanded upon in future iterations. It’s a smart way to balance quality and timelines effectively.
D. Ask the team to propose a minimum viable product (MVP) to meet the date.
