This is a violation of the working hours. By approving a schedule that deviates from company-wide norms without proper coordination, the PM violated implicit or explicit ground rules.

Selected Answer: C
C: Before agreeing to an alternative working schedule, the project manager should have analyzed the boundaries of the agreement to ensure it aligns with the organization’s policies, core working hours, and expectations from other teams. Proper analysis and consideration during negotiations would have prevented the scrutiny and ensured that the arrangement was clearly justified and communicated.

Organization may have core working hours as a policy for their employees. Everyone needs to be available for working in the core hour duration. Any exception is needed, that needs to be discussed/negotiated with concerned department or function.
