Project Management Professional (PMP) — Question 281

A project manager is leading a hybrid project. The only available resources that have experience with agile are not at the project manager's location. The project has a strict schedule and budget, and the project manager is concerned about their ability to deliver it.
What should the project manager do?

Answer options

• A. Engage the agile resources through video conferencing on a daily basis
• B. Advise the sponsor that the project will be delayed as agile training will be required
• C. Request a budget extension to get local resources experienced in agile
• D. Plan to have the agile resources temporarily relocate to the project manager's location

Correct answer: A

Explanation

The correct answer is A because engaging the agile resources through video conferencing allows for continuous collaboration and support without delaying the project. Options B and C suggest postponing the project or extending the budget, which are not proactive solutions. Option D might not be feasible due to time and cost constraints.
