Exam PMP topic 1 question 281 discussion

The project manager should **C. Help the customer find an alternative location to start the training**. This approach is proactive and focuses on finding a solution that allows the training to start as scheduled. It's important to maintain good relationships with customers and to work together to overcome challenges. However, the project manager should also consider the specific circumstances and dynamics of the project and the team when deciding on the best course of action. It's always important for the project manager to use their judgement and consider the unique aspects of the situation when deciding on the best course of action.

C is the most direct and practical solution. B is the next step if C would not work.

Because we do not know the anticipated date the center would be available, I do not think B is correct, additionally, the center not being available would have been identified as a risk in the project and a response would be assigned to it with the responsible person. Therefore the most correct answer would be C.

B issues change request

C. Help the customer find an alternative location to start the training. In this situation, it's important for the project manager to work collaboratively with the customer to find a suitable alternative location for starting the training as close to the original schedule as possible. This approach demonstrates flexibility and a commitment to meeting the project's objectives. While it's important to keep the project schedule updated (option D), finding a solution to the immediate problem is the first priority. Option B (issuing a change request) may be necessary if the change impacts other project aspects significantly, but exploring alternative locations is the immediate action to take. Option A (applying contract penalties) should be considered only if other options are exhausted and the delay is solely due to the customer's fault or breach of contract.

Many doubts between B and C For mine the most sense is C due to limit on the start date but there are big problems to can do it like time constraint and high cost to get another center for the training. By other side Project Manager is in charge of training program and not in managing the adecuation or resorces like provide the center. Considering above I will go with B

If the training is scheduled to start in just 2 weeks and the original training center is unavailable, finding an alternative location may not be a practical solution given the time constraint. so raising CR is the correct option

The best option from the given choices would be: B. Issue a change request to reflect the anticipated date for training. As the delay in providing the training center is a change that affects the project schedule, the project manager should follow the project's established change management process. This usually involves issuing a change request that clearly describes the change, its impact on the project, and the proposed new schedule. This change request should then be reviewed and approved by the appropriate stakeholders or bodies (such as a Change Control Board), in accordance with the project's governance structure.

C. Help the customer find an alternative location to start the training. As a project manager, it is important to maintain good customer relations and find solutions to problems as they arise. In this scenario, the project manager should first try to help the customer find an alternative location to start the training as soon as possible. This could involve contacting other training centers or venues to see if they have availability.

The project manager should take the following steps: C. Help the customer find an alternative location to start the training. The project manager should work with the customer to identify any potential alternative locations that could be used for the training, such as a different training center or online training. B. Issue a change request to reflect the anticipated date for training. This would be an appropriate step once the new date for training has been confirmed, the project manager should document the change and its impact on the project. Regenerate response
