CompTIA Project+ (PK0-004) — Question 221

A project manager in a function organization is resource leveling the upcoming phase. The project manager notices one of the resources is assigned with 20% of allocation to a secondary project. This situation limits and jeopardizes the commitment date.
Which of the following should the project manager do NEXT?

Answer options

• A. Ask the PMO to mitigate the risk related to insufficient resources.
• B. Ask the functional manager to provide a resource with the same level of allocation.
• C. Remove 20 of allocation of the resource from the secondary project.
• D. Ask the resource to improve performance to target with commitment date.

Correct answer: C

Explanation

The correct answer is C because removing the 20% allocation from the secondary project ensures that the resource can fully commit to the primary project, thus helping to meet the commitment date. Option A is not a direct solution to the resource allocation issue, B does not resolve the immediate concern of resource commitment, and D does not address the underlying allocation conflict that is jeopardizing the timeline.
