Project Management Professional (PMP) — Question 875

A project manager is in the middle or handling a major upgrade to an existing product. The project manager learns that the resources initially promised as part or the project are being moved to another priority project.

What should the project manager do?

Answer options

• A. Perform an impact analysis to see the effect on the project
• B. Examine ways of modifying the scope of the project.
• C. Adopt a resource leveling procedure to level the resources
• D. Retrieve the documentation that shows the resource allocation

Correct answer: A

Explanation

The correct answer is A because performing an impact analysis helps the project manager understand how the loss of resources will affect the project's timeline, budget, and outcomes. The other options, while potentially useful, do not directly address the immediate need to assess the consequences of the resource change.
