Gary is the project manager of the NHF project, which is a part of a program in his organization. According to the PMBOK, how will Gary provide feedback to programs and portfolios?

  1. Status meetings
  2. Push communications
  3. Regular communications
  4. Status reports and change requests

Answer(s): D

Explanation:

According to the PMBOK, the project manager provides the feedback to programs and portfolios by means of status reports and change requests that may impact other projects, programs, or portfolios. The needs of the projects, including the resource needs, are rolled up and communicated back to the portfolio level, which in turn sets the direction for organizational planning.
What is a status report?
A status report is a narrative description about a subject that is relevant to an organization. Typically, a user submits a status report that was created for him by a manager. He can also create and submit his own unrequested status report at any time. It is a collaborative feature specific to PWA. Status report in PWA is a convenient way to exchange textual information with the team members about the status of a project or items in addition to task progress, which a user updates on the Tasks page.
What are change requests?
Change requests are requests to expand or reduce the project scope, modify policies, processes, plans, or procedures, modify costs or budgets or revise schedules. These requests for a change can be direct or indirect, externally or internally initiated, and legally or contractually imposed or optional. A Project Manager needs to ensure that only formally documented requested changes are processed and only approved change requests are implemented.
Answer option C is incorrect. While regular communication is needed, this is not the best answer for the question.
Answer option A is incorrect. Status meetings are a part of project communications, but do not answer the question

as completely as status reports and change requests.

Answer option B is incorrect. Push communications is one type of communicating mode where the project manager pushes the information to
recipients. This is not the best choice for the question because there are other modes communicating as well.
