A bridge construction project has been paused due to a political change in the local government. After almost 5 years, the new government would like to resume the project, and a project manager is assigned.
What should the project manager do first?
A.
Prepare an estimate of the time and cost to complete this project.
B.
Study the project's lessons learned to understand why it was paused.
C.
Meet the new stakeholders and understand their expectations.
D.
Examine the project's business case in order to resume the project.
The correct answer is: D. Examine the project’s business case in order to resume the project.
Explanation:
The business case is a critical document that outlines the justification for the project’s existence, including its value, objectives, and alignment with organizational goals. After a long pause, circumstances, priorities, or the economic environment might have changed. Examining the business case ensures that resuming the project is still viable and aligned with the new government’s strategic objectives before committing resources.
Why not C:
Stakeholder engagement is crucial but should occur after confirming the project’s business case to avoid unnecessary stakeholder discussions for a project that may no longer be viable.
The question says first thing and as per the choices, the PM will need to understand the new stakeholder's expectations.
