Certified Associate in Project Management (CAPM) — Question 294

An adaptive project manager is migrating the company's new website. The project manager must work with the team to invest full capacity on this project because it is the company's top-ranked project in the portfolio. In order to increase throughput and provide consistent delivery, the project manager needs to assign members who are currently involved with other projects.

How should the project manager assign the team members to this project?

Answer options

• A. Full allocation
• B. Task switching
• C. Prediction
• D. Multitasking

Correct answer: A

Explanation

The correct answer is A, Full allocation, as it involves dedicating team members entirely to the top-priority project, which is necessary for increasing throughput and ensuring consistent delivery. Task switching (B) and multitasking (D) can lead to decreased efficiency due to divided attention, while prediction (C) does not address team member allocation directly.
