PMI Scheduling Professional (PMI-SP) — Question 13

Ned is the project manager of the HYQ Project. In Ned's project, the management has requested that he enforce resource leveling so that the maximum amount of hours in the project per worker will not exceed 25 hours per week. Ned's pay is based on how quickly he can complete the project work. What must Ned do to accommodate the change in the resource allotment if he has to finish the project on time?

Answer options

• A. Crash the project.
• B. Add more risk mitigation.
• C. Reduce the amount of labor.
• D. Reduce the project scope.

Correct answer: A

Explanation

Crashing the project involves adding resources or reducing the time taken to complete tasks, which aligns with the need to finish the project on time despite the new limitations on worker hours. The other options do not directly address the urgency of completing the project within the constraints set by management, as reducing labor or scope could lead to delays or insufficient project delivery.
