An initiative faces recurring resource bottlenecks across several of its projects. Which course of action is best for updating the program plan and resolving these constraints while preserving the overall strategic outcomes?
Record these constraints in a risk log and maintain current staff allocations until the sponsor approves a change
Analyze the effects on budget, schedules, and deliverables, realign resources accordingly, and confirm the plan updates with major stakeholders
Reassign resources from a project with lower performance to resolve tasks on another project’s critical path
Emphasize overhead-reduction activities to reduce demands on the current resources
One option addresses the effects of resource shortfalls by revisiting the plan, factoring in the impact on cost, schedule, and deliverables, and gaining stakeholder approval for realignments to maintain strategic direction. This ensures comprehensive incorporation of corrective measures across all projects. Answers that shift resources without working with sponsors or evaluating cross-project dependencies might lead to misalignment. Merely documenting the risk without taking plan action may contribute to schedule pressures. Reducing overhead does not ensure that core resource problems causing the bottlenecks will be resolved.
