The project manager believes that the procedures outlined in the project governance will be necessary for this particular project due to its unique nature. However, these procedures do not align with several policies required by the organization’s Project Management Office (PMO). In such a situation, the project manager should discuss the proposed changes with the PMO. The PMO is responsible for maintaining standards for project management within the organization. They can provide guidance and decide whether an exception can be made for this particular project. References: Project Management Professional (PMP) Reference Materials, Professional in Business Analysis Reference Materials study guide.
