During project execution, a project manager notices that some project activities are deviating from the project management plan. What should be the BEST step to ensure that the project remains aligned with the project's performance objectives?
Immediately inform all stakeholders about the deviations and seek their input on how to proceed
Wait until the next project status meeting to discuss the deviations with the team
Review and analyze performance data to identify the necessary corrective or preventive actions
Stop all project work until the project management plan can be reevaluated
The correct answer is "Review and analyze performance data to identify the necessary corrective or preventive actions." This action reflects the Monitor and Control Project Work process, in which the project manager examines work performance data, compares it to the project management plan, and identifies corrective or preventive measures to realign project performance. The other options either delay appropriate analysis, bypass the structured change-control process, or unnecessarily halt work, making them inconsistent with PMI best practices.
