Program Management Professional (PgMP) — Question 340

Two component project managers are competing for limited resources which has led to conflict between the project managers and caused program delays. What should the program manager do?

Answer options

• A. Allocate the resource to any of the project managers
• B. Allow the project managers to develop a resource plan
• C. Resolve the conflict at the program level
• D. Implement program conflict management

Correct answer: C

Explanation

The correct answer is C because resolving the conflict at the program level ensures that the overall goals of the program are prioritized and managed effectively. Options A and B may perpetuate the conflict rather than resolving it, while D, while beneficial, is not as direct in addressing the immediate issue of conflict between the project managers.
