Exam PMP topic 1 question 678 discussion

I would go with C.

Identifying the critical path and understanding the reasons for the potential schedule delay are crucial steps in addressing and managing the situation. By focusing on the critical path and investigating the root causes of the delay, the project manager can develop a more targeted and effective plan for schedule recovery. This proactive approach allows the project manager to address the specific issues causing the delay and take corrective actions to bring the project back on track.

Immediate investigation is crucial: Early intervention: Identifying the cause of the delay early allows for swift corrective action to minimize its impact on the overall project timeline. Accurate assessment: Without understanding the specific activities causing the delay, it's difficult to accurately predict the extent of the delay and effectively propose solutions. Targeted solutions: By pinpointing the cause, the project manager can develop targeted solutions, potentially avoiding unnecessary resource requests or communication causing undue worry.

In a situation where there might be a schedule delay in a multiyear resource-constrained project that is midway through the execution phase, and the team is working hard with many deliverables completed, the project manager should take immediate action to assess the situation and identify the causes of the potential delay. The most appropriate action is: C. Ask the project planner to identify the critical path and respective delayed activities, and then investigate the reasons for the delay.

C. Ask the project planner to identify the critical path and respective delayed activities, and then investigate the reasons for the delay

find the reason, add risk, change request, then updating schedule

Option D suggests asking the scheduler to update the schedule with the percent of work in progress (WIP) and communicating the results to the team. While this step may provide information about the current progress of the project, it does not directly address the issue of schedule delay that has been identified during the progress update meeting. In contrast, option C is more appropriate because it focuses on understanding the specific reasons for the schedule delay by identifying the critical path and delayed activities. This investigation will provide valuable insights into the root causes of the delay, enabling the project manager to take targeted actions to address the issues and minimize the impact on the project timeline.

You need to know the root cause of delayed first, then action. C should be answer.

I'll go with A

I would go with C, it seems there are too many bugs in this dump

C. Ask the project planner to identify the critical path and respective delayed activities and then investigate the reasons for the delay. The project manager should first identify the specific causes of the potential schedule delay by analyzing the critical path and determining which activities are delayed. This will help to pinpoint the problem areas and identify potential solutions to address the issue. Once the reasons for the delay are understood, the project manager can develop an appropriate plan to mitigate the risks and get the project back on track.

C is best among all

Definitely C... the deliverables on the critical path are the ones that matter

It should be C.

there might be a schedule delay to deliver the project <- Risk C says respective delayed activities, there is no real delay yet Answer is A

Should it be C?

not A, apparently
