PMP Practice Question 551 - Process
A project manager is in the middle of handling a major upgrade to an existing product. The project manager learns that the resources initially promised as part of the project are being moved to another priority project. What should the project manager do?
- ✓ Correct A.Perform an impact analysis to see the effect on the project.
- B.Retrieve the documentation that shows the resource allocation.
- C.Examine ways of modifying the scope of the project.
- D.Adopt a resource leveling procedure to level the resources.
Correct answer: A
Explanation
When resources initially promised for the project are being moved to another priority project, the project manager should first perform an impact analysis. Understanding the effects on schedule, budget, scope, and quality enables informed decision-making about next steps. Retrieving resource allocation documentation (B) provides evidence but not analysis. Examining scope modification (C) is premature without impact assessment. Resource leveling (D) is a scheduling technique, not an immediate response to resource loss.
