Project Management Professional (PMP) — Question 769

A project manager has received a new request to integrate more features to a product. The team is fully allocated, and there is no budget to acquire new resources

What strategy should the project manager implement to deal with this situation?

Answer options

• A. Discuss the problem with the team and decide how to do the work together.
• B. Ask the team to accelerate the iterations and avoid interruptions.
• C. Recommend that the project sponsor increases the budget to bring new resources.
• D. Verify team performance and ask for improvement during daily standup meetings.

Correct answer: A

Explanation

The correct answer is A because discussing the issue with the team allows for collaborative problem-solving and prioritization of tasks within existing constraints. Options B and C are not viable as they either push for unrealistic speed or suggest acquiring resources that aren't available. Option D focuses on performance improvement but does not address the immediate need for resource management.
