PMI Scheduling Professional (PMI-SP) — Question 39

Beth is the project manager for the NHQ project. This project deals with fiber optic cabling in her organizational campus. Tim is the electrical engineer for her company and is the only internal resource that can complete several of the project activities that deal with the fiber optic cables. Because Tim is a highly-skilled resource, he is already scheduled on several projects within the organization and is not available when Beth needs him to complete some of the project activities.
This is an example of which term?

Answer options

• A. Resource calendar conflict
• B. Matrix network
• C. Organizational process assets
• D. Activity resource requirements

Correct answer: D

Explanation

The correct answer is D, as the situation illustrates the need for specific resources to complete project activities, highlighting the requirements for activities. The other options do not accurately reflect the scenario; A describes conflicts in scheduling, B refers to a type of organizational structure, and C pertains to the assets and processes an organization uses, none of which directly relate to the unavailability of Tim for project activities.
