Question 170
Trevor is the project manager for a team of policy researchers. Instead of a peer-review system, Trevor decides that the writers of the papers will submit them to their manager for an initial review, emphasizing the technical information. If accepted, the documents will be sent to the manager's director for assessment, emphasizing message and branding. If the directors support the paper, they will submit it to Trevor for a final review before publication on the company's website. This is an example of which type of project governance?
- A Defining roles and responsibilities
- B Stage-gate or phase reviews
- C Identifying, escalating, and resolving risks
- D Capturing lessons learned
Reveal correct answer
Correct answer: B
Explanation
Stage-gate or phase reviews are a series of reviews by progressively higher authorities intended to approve a process or product. Stage-gates or phase reviews call for a project review to this point in time, such as reaching a milestone, and if the project metrics are good, then the project may move forward as planned. Identifying, escalating, and resolving risks involves creating and applying a standardized process for communicating and addressing risks or uncertain events that may occur in the project. Defining roles and responsibilities allows team members to act autonomously and efficiently by communicating each team member's project role and expectations. Capturing lessons learned allows teams to learn from and possibly prevent future mistakes while maintaining best practices.Discussion
