CAPM Practice: Determine how to follow and execute planned strategies or frameworks

Question 100 of 100 in Determine how to follow and execute planned strategies or frameworks

Yasmin Desai, a project coordinator at Joule Energy, is reviewing planned strategies for her project. Match each project strategy or framework on the left with the appropriate response action on the right. Items: 1. Communication management plan requires weekly stakeholder updates 2. Risk register identifies a high-probability vendor delay 3. Quality management plan specifies peer reviews for all deliverables 4. Procurement management plan indicates materials should be ordered 3 weeks before use Which option correctly matches each item to its description?
Show answer & explanation

Correct answer: 1. Communication management plan requires weekly stakeholder updates → Schedule status update emails every Friday to stakeholder distribution list 2. Risk register identifies a high-probability vendor delay → Implement the planned risk response strategy and monitor the vendor's progress 3. Quality management plan specifies peer reviews for all deliverables → Establish peer review sessions and document results according to the plan 4. Procurement management plan indicates materials should be ordered 3 weeks before use → Submit purchase requisitions based on the project schedule timeline

Explanation

Following and executing planned strategies means taking the specific actions outlined in project management plans. The communication plan's weekly update requirement translates to scheduling regular stakeholder communications. An identified risk requires executing the predetermined response strategy. Quality requirements must be implemented through the specified review processes. Procurement timing requirements must be followed to ensure materials arrive as planned. Each planned strategy has a corresponding execution action that brings the plan to life.

**Why not A:** This option mismatches all four strategies with the wrong response actions. Communication plan requirements should lead to distributing communications, not establishing peer reviews. Risk reviews require conducting sessions, not submitting purchase orders. Quality peer reviews require implementing checkpoints, not scheduling status emails. Procurement timing requires submitting requisitions, not monitoring vendors.

**Why not B:** This option swaps all four responses incorrectly. The communication plan calls for distributing reports, not monitoring vendors. The risk register calls for implementing risk responses, not conducting peer reviews. The quality plan calls for establishing review checkpoints, not ordering materials. The procurement plan calls for submitting orders, not scheduling emails.

**Why not C:** This option mismatches two pairs. The communication plan should lead to distributing reports, not submitting purchase requisitions. The procurement plan should lead to submitting purchase requisitions, not scheduling status update emails. The risk and quality pairings are also incorrect.
