CompTIA Project+ (PK0-004) — Question 352

A project manager realizes more people are needed to complete a deliverable on time and asks the PMO for more resources. This is an example of:

Answer options

• A. shared resources.
• B. a resource shortage
• C. interproject resource contention.
• D. benched resources.

Correct answer: B

Explanation

The correct answer is B, as the project manager acknowledges that there is not enough manpower to meet the deadline, highlighting a resource shortage. Options A and C do not accurately describe the situation; shared resources refer to resources allocated across multiple projects, while interproject resource contention involves competition for limited resources between projects. Option D, benched resources, refers to available but unassigned resources, which is not the issue in this scenario.
