Program Management Professional (PgMP) — Question 118

A program manager recognizes that a successful resource being used in project A could also be used in project B.
What should the program manager do first to leverage the utilization of this resource?

Answer options

• A. Assign project A's resource to project B.
• B. Reassign the resource to project B after project A ends.
• C. Prioritize the resource to optimize their use across both projects A and B.
• D. Mitigate risk by leveraging other resources in project A.

Correct answer: B

Explanation

The correct answer is B because it ensures that the resource is fully utilized in project A before being assigned to project B, preventing disruption. Options A and C suggest reallocating or prioritizing the resource prematurely, which could negatively impact project A. Option D does not leverage the identified resource effectively.
