According to the PMP Examination Content Outline and PMBOK best practices, when should a project manager assess the consolidated project plan for dependencies, gaps, and continued business value?
Only at predetermined major milestone reviews
Only during the initiation and closing phases
Only when significant scope changes have been formally approved
Continuously throughout the entire project lifecycle
The consolidated plan should be examined on an ongoing basis-during routine monitoring and controlling activities-so that emerging dependencies, misalignments, or value gaps are recognized and addressed promptly. PMBOK Guide 6 describes Monitor and Control Project Work as a process that is performed "throughout the project," and ECO Task 9 explicitly calls for continuous assessment of consolidated plans. Limiting the review to milestone gates or other isolated events would delay discovery of issues and put the project's objectives at risk.
