Program Management Professional (PgMP) — Question 351

The project managers for component projects A and B schedule the same resource to perform tasks during the same timeframe, resulting in an over-allocation.
The program manager reviews the program resource management plan, determines that project A can wait until the resource becomes available, and assigns the resource to project B.
This is an example of which of the following?

Answer options

• A. Program resource management planning
• B. Program risk mitigation
• C. Resource interdependency management
• D. Project resource planning

Correct answer: C

Explanation

The correct answer is C, Resource interdependency management, as it involves coordinating resources between projects to prevent conflicts. The other options do not accurately reflect the action taken; A refers to initial planning, B relates to addressing potential risks, and D is focused on the resource planning for individual projects rather than managing interdependencies.
