Exam PMP topic 1 question 580 discussion

I agree with C. The catchphrase here is informing the stakeholder three days before the expected date of delivery. The PM should have maintained constant communication and the stakeholder should have been prepared to expect delays.

The most effective way to prevent this delay would have been for the project manager to maintain constant communication with the stakeholders of the other projects. This PROACTIVE (!) approach would have provided visibility into resource priorities, enabled negotiation or schedule adjustments, and ensured the component’s delivery stayed on track. In project management best practices (e.g., PMBOK), managing shared resources requires ongoing collaboration and stakeholder engagement—exactly what Option C entails. Answer: C. Maintained constant communication with the stakeholders of the other projects

first to be aware, then update resource plan C sounds better, but the word stakeholder make me choose D instead, if it is project manager from other teams, i would prefer C

D. Used the resource management plan to identify the impacts of the other projects: The resource management plan helps in understanding resource allocation, availability, and potential contention. It's specifically designed to deal with issues like shared resources across multiple projects. By using the resource management plan effectively, the project manager could have identified potential resource conflicts or over-allocations early on and taken corrective actions.

Competing priorities of the shared resources are delaying delivery of the component. What should the project manager have done to prevent this delay from happening? COMMON SENSE QUESTION DUNNO WHY OTHERS ANSWERED C. COMPETING PRIORITIES. CHECK THR RESOURCE MANAGEMENT PLAN FIRST! I DONT SEE HOW COMMUNICATING COULD HAVE PREVENTED THE DELAY WGHERE THE ISSUE IS THE PRIORITY! ANSWER IS D.

D. Used the resource management plan to identify the impacts of the other projects

Even though option D is a good option, Option C (discussions with other projects stakeholders) approach could enable the project manager to address any issues or competing priorities in advance.

Can't see how the resource mgmt plan could have helped to IDENTIFY the impacts of the other projects. It contains some guidelines on how to manage and acquire resources alongside RACI. What would have helped is analysing the impact of the shared resource on the Project Team Assignment and Resource Calendar... but there is no such an option given.

I don't the a PM have time and budget to maintain a good relationship with the stakeholders of other projects.

D is ans

D sound good with me.

I am also going with D. Maintaining constant communication with the other projects is not going to help if as a PM you didn't take that into account their commitment to other projects when setting up the schedule for your own project.

I think D is the correct answer. PM should have identified this risk earlier. Any suggestions?
