A compliance strategy was created during the planning phase of a project. During execution, the project manager left the organization and another project manager was assigned to the team.
What should the project manager do first to ensure the project is compliant?
Correct Answer: D
Explanation
The project manager should review the compliance strategy and version history first to ensure the project is compliant, because this will help the project manager understand the current state of the project, the compliance requirements and standards that apply to the project, and the changes that have been made to the compliance strategy throughout the project life cycle. The compliance strategy is a document that describes how the project team will manage compliance with all applicable rules, regulations, contracts, and policies governing the project. The version history is a record of the revisions and updates that have been made to the compliance strategy, including the date, author, and reason for each change. Reviewing the compliance strategy and version history will enable the project manager to identify any gaps, issues, or risks related tocompliance, and to plan and execute the appropriate actions to address them. The project manager should also communicate with the project sponsor, the project team, and other stakeholders to ensure alignment and collaboration on compliance matters, but this should be done after reviewing the compliance strategy and version history. The project manager should also review the organizational process assets (OPAs) for compliance topics, such as policies, procedures, templates, and lessons learned, but this should be done in conjunction with the compliance strategy and version history, not before them.
