A project manager is managing a project to deploy new software to 200 end users. During the implementation, there is a missed process that caused some of the users to lose their computer data. What should the project manager do first?
A.
Meet with the team to discuss the root cause and encourage the team to take note of it and continue to focus on the deployment.
B.
Record this case until the final lessons learned session is complete to prevent impacting the team's morale during implementation.
C.
Meet with the team members and request they conduct a review of the case by providing feedback as lessons learned.
D.
Invite a consultant to review the process in order not to repeat the same issue and share the results with the team.
It should be A, even moreso because it asks what should you do FIRST. You typically never hire a consultant as the first option, you almost always meet/investigate/etc.
Given that some users have already lost their computer data, it is indeed crucial to take immediate action to address the issue and minimize further data loss. In such a scenario, the most appropriate immediate action would be to invite a consultant to review the process (Option D). This allows for a quick and expert assessment of the situation to prevent any additional data loss.
C should be the answer, A cant be, the word 'root cause' is misleading, it asks to perform RCA which is definitely good but then it says to make note of the issue and continue deployment, just making note of the issue doesnt help, employees losing their data is a big issue, action needs to be taken to correct it not just noting it
GPT is saying answer is C but I think D makes sense. The team cannot focus on deployment without knowing the cause and keep loosing the data. So it is a good practice to let the consultant review and share the findings with the team so that they can mitigate the issue.
Answer C is not specific, but Answer A is more accurate in term of find the root cause.
I think in answer A, with regard "continue to focus on the deployment" is about corrective action.
C. Meet with the team members and request they conduct a review of the case by providing feedback as lessons learned.
This action emphasizes a proactive approach to addressing the issue and learning from it. Meeting with the team to review the case and gather feedback on what went wrong is a critical step in understanding the root causes and preventing similar incidents in the future. Lessons learned should be collected and shared during the project, not just during the final lessons learned session.
Answer - D, Invite a consultant to review the process in order not to repeat the same issue and share the results with the team.
Rest all are not addressing the issue
So, a critical problem arises and you want to "continue to focus on the deployment"? Really? In real-life software development, do you want to proceed even if people are losing important data or fix it ASAP?
If we look at the question again, it stated that the was a missed process which resulted in the lost of data therefore, there is no need to conduct a root cause since we already know its due to a missed process.
you have already miss a process then you still continue to deploy software???
Why you still need a root of cause analysis? you have already know the root of cause is missing a process.
The answer should be C.
why not C? becuase it suggests to meet with team and receive feedback as lessons learnt. is it bacuse option A also mention about continue the deployment?
