CompTIA Project+ (PK0-004) — Question 230

A project manager is performing resource leveling and notices one of the functional testers is assigned 40% in a second project. The project manager needs the resource to be 100% dedicated to the project; otherwise, the testing phase jeopardizes the delivery date. Which of the following should the project manager do
NEXT?

Answer options

• A. Ask the resource manager to deallocate the resource from the second project.
• B. Ask the resource manager to assign a new resource with 40% of allocation.
• C. Keep the resource 100% allocated in the project, as per the initial plan.
• D. Change the resource to 60% of allocation and review the mitigation plan.

Correct answer: D

Explanation

The correct answer is D because it allows for some flexibility while still addressing the need for resource commitment. Option A is not ideal as it may not be possible to remove the resource from the second project. Option B introduces a new resource who may not be as familiar with the project, and option C disregards the critical need for full dedication during testing.
