QuestionQ554

Project Management Concepts

During a status meeting, the development team reviews the work and identifies an unforeseen dependency on a critical project activity. Consequently, the project will most likely be delayed. Which action should the project manager MOST likely take?

  • A Work with the project scheduler to update the project timeline.
  • B Communicate to the stakeholders about the updated timeline.
  • C Ask the development team to fast-track upcoming activities.
  • D Add two resources so the critical activities will finish on time.
Explanation

A dependency on a critical activity can change the critical path and project completion date. The project schedule should be assessed and updated to reflect the dependency and its resulting impact before communicating a revised timeline or selecting corrective measures such as fast-tracking or adding resources.
