Project Management Professional Practice Question

The correct first step is to group the numerous compliance requirements into logical categories. This action, known as classifying compliance categories, helps to organize the requirements into more manageable segments (e.g., legal, environmental, safety, contractual). This allows the project manager to develop targeted strategies, assign responsibilities clearly, and create a structured plan to address all compliance needs, which is more effective than trying to manage them all at once. Assigning tasks to the legal department without internal analysis is premature, developing a risk response plan is reactive rather than proactive management, and attempting to monitor everything simultaneously is inefficient without first organizing the requirements.
