Question

A project manager conducted a meeting and developed the project schedule. A critical stakeholder who was not consulted during the schedule discussion complained that the published dates are unacceptable because of a prescheduled task for another assignment.

What should the project manager do first?

Explanation

Critical stakeholders need to be engaged when developing a feasible, accepted project schedule. Obtaining the omitted stakeholder’s input is the necessary initial step to understand the scheduling constraint and incorporate it appropriately before deciding whether schedule changes, escalation, or additional resources are needed.
