PMI Exam PfMP Topic 7 Question 55 Discussion

Actual exam question for PMI's PfMP exam

Question #: 55
Topic #: 7

Assume you are the portfolio manager for a telecommunications company. Your company was about to launch a new and easy to use smart phone with more features than any existing phones on the market at a lower price. However, although the phone was due to market in five days, the Federal Communications Commission issued today a regulation that would make your new phone not available for use in airplanes. Thus additional work must be done, and your executives are wondering whether a new phone should be developed for this new feature. You are ensuring that if a new phone is developed, or if the almost completed product is not to be marketed, there is still alignment to the organization's strategy. As you complete an analysis of alternatives, you also should ensure results of the analysis are reflected in the:

ABenefits realization plan

BPortfolio process assets

CPortfolio roadmap

DPortfolio performance plan

This is where having a solid portfolio management process comes in handy. They need to carefully weigh the benefits and risks of each option and make sure it aligns with the overall strategy. I hope they've got a good benefits realization plan in place to guide them.

Hmm, I'm not sure. Developing a whole new phone sounds like it could be a huge time and money investment. But then again, if they don't, they might miss out on a big opportunity. I'd want to see a really thorough analysis of the options before making a decision.

Wow, this is a tricky situation. The company was so close to launching this new phone, and now they have to deal with this last-minute regulation from the FCC. I wonder what the pros and cons are of developing a new phone versus not marketing the almost-completed product.
