Question
A project manager is in the closing phase of an IT asset refresh project that involves the disposal of several computers. The project sponsor notified the project manager that the company recently received a penalty as a result of disposing of some computers improperly. Which of the following should have been considered during initial planning to prevent this situation?
- A. ESG Correct
- B. PHI
- C. PII
- D. ROIL
Explanation
Environmental, social and governance (ESG) considerations cover a project's environmental impact and regulatory compliance, including the proper and lawful disposal of e-waste such as old computers. Planning for ESG requirements up front would have ensured certified disposal and avoided the penalty. PHI and PII concern protecting health and personal data, and data sanitization was not the cause given. ROIL is a risks, opportunities, issues and lessons log, not a planning consideration for disposal regulations.
