In the middle of a software development project, the lead design programmer accepted an offer from a competitor. The project manager needs to find a replacement to meet an upcoming milestone. What should the project manager do?
A.
Consult the risk response plan.
B.
Update the resource calendar.
C.
Issue a request to the change control board (CCB).
A. Consult the risk response plan.
When a key team member, such as the lead design programmer, leaves in the middle of a project, it's a risk that could have been foreseen and for which a contingency plan might have been created. The risk response plan will have strategies or actions outlined for such eventualities. The project manager should first refer to this plan to determine the appropriate course of action to address this situation and minimize its impact on the project.
Do you guys even know what a resource calendar is? It's the calendar of the resource.
Why the hell would you update the calendar of a leaving employee. CHECK THE RISK RESPONSE FIRST!
It never said the risk was previously identified.. now the "risk" has become an "issue". There's nothing in the risk response plan for this. Can't be A.
We need to update the resource calendar (aka schedule) to remove the person that left, add someone new and possibly review the other team members schedules to see if they can take some of the work load.
ChatGPT may say D, but B is the same thing plus more, it's the more complete answer.
As per chat GPT:
D. Assign the tasks to another team member.
This would be the most immediate and practical response to ensure the project continues moving forward. Then comes consult risk response plan to see if any mitigations identified earlier
