Exam PMP topic 1 question 788 discussion

A. resources from sponsor please B. Doing nothing please C. Eliminate PM myself please D. Imaging in agile, define mvp (sounds ok)

for peers saying A is right, as a PM you should know cost is tight ( no money) so A is a no no. for people saying B, this should be done far far from the preliminary steps so its NO. Option C looks right since Schedule is tight ( no extra day or week or months) so the PM can reduce some activities while creating WBS with available resournces. D is a no no, since the cost and schedule are tight so any change request will likely be rejected.

D is the correct answer

In a situation where there is a lack of resources to deliver the project, the project manager should first identify the resource requirements and communicate this to the stakeholders. This involves clearly specifying the types and quantities of resources needed for the project. Once the resource requirements are communicated, the project manager can work with stakeholders to secure the necessary resources or explore alternative solutions. It's important to address resource constraints proactively to minimize the impact on the project schedule and costs.

This option prioritizes transparency and proactive problem-solving. By clearly outlining the resource needs and their impact on the project's success, the project manager allows stakeholders to make informed decisions. This communication could involve: Quantifying the resource gap and its specific implications (e.g., potential delays, reduced scope). Proposing potential solutions like acquiring additional resources, reassignment within the team, or prioritizing tasks based on impact. Engaging in collaborative discussions with stakeholders to explore resource allocation options and potential adjustments.

At the end I will go with D. 3 baselines are TIME, COST and SCOPE TIME and COST are Tight, accordingly the SCOPE must be alligned the the rest of baselines. Option B just will induce on big problems on the project execution.

Because the constraints are already know it makes sense to adjust the activities. It would not make sense to ask for more resources when there are none.

When a project manager determines that there is a lack of resources to deliver a project with tight schedule and costs, the most appropriate course of action is: A. Identify the resource requirements and communicate them to the stakeholders seeking resources. A then D if A doesnt work

A. Identify the resource requirements and communicate them to the stakeholders seeking resources

A. Identify the resource requirements and communicate them to the stakeholders seeking resources. Most Voted. THE COSTS ARE TIGHT, HOW TO SEEK FOR MORE RESOURCES?? B. Update the risk register noting that, due to the lack of available resources, the project is likely to be delayed. PROJECT SCHEDULE IS TIGHT, SO THIS IS A RISK THAT COULD HAPPEN BUT BY THE MOMENT IS JUST A RISK, THIS OPTION CAN BE A GOOD OPTION C. Define the work breakdown structure (WBS), identify the resource gaps, and reduce project management activities. THE PROJECT SCHEDULE IS TIGHT, SO WBS IS ALREADY DEFINED PREVIOUSLY, HOW TO DEFINE IT AGAIN?? AND HOW TO REDUCE ACTIVITIES WITHOUT CHANGE PROCESS?? D. Formalize a scope change request with the stakeholders to adjust the project scope with the available resources. CHANGE SCOPE CAN BE AN OPTION BUT IT SHOULD GO THROUGH CCB, I KEEP THINKING B IS THE BEST OPTION

Agree A

In a situation where the project manager determines that there is a lack of resources to deliver the project within the existing constraints, the appropriate action is to: A. Identify the resource requirements and communicate them to the stakeholders seeking resources. By identifying the resource requirements and communicating them to stakeholders, the project manager can work with relevant parties to secure the necessary resources or adjust the project accordingly. This action aligns with resource management and project planning practices.

Agree A.

By identifying the resource requirements and communicating them to the stakeholders, the project manager can highlight the need for additional resources to successfully deliver the project. This allows for a proactive approach in resolving the resource constraints and ensures that stakeholders are aware of the situation.
