A new project has two major deliverables with equal priority and identical delivery dates. The team is unsure which deliverable to finish first. What should the project manager do?

The project manager should meet with the project sponsor and key stakeholders to evaluate each deliverable's value and set priorities. This aligns with the principle of value-driven delivery, ensuring that the project focuses on outcomes that provide the most benefit to the organization. Stakeholder engagement is crucial for resolving conflicts and making informed decisions that impact project direction and success. Canceling the project is an extreme measure not justified by a prioritization challenge. Starting with an "easier" deliverable without understanding its value might lead to suboptimal outcomes. Requiring simultaneous execution without proper prioritization risks resource contention and potential failure for both deliverables.
