A project manager is experiencing delays because team members are frequently unavailable due to commitments on other projects. To improve project performance, which resource allocation should the project manager implement?
Hire additional support staff to assist the team as needed
Allow team members the flexibility to balance their time across projects
Continue to share team members with other projects to enhance overall workload management
Assign team members to prioritize this project over others
By reassigning team members to focus more on this project and reducing their commitments to others, the project manager effectively shifts from using shared resources to dedicated resources. Dedicated resources are primarily assigned to a single project, increasing their availability and reducing scheduling conflicts. This leads to improved project performance. Continuing to share team members or allowing them to balance time may not resolve the availability issues causing delays. Hiring additional support staff adds resources but doesn't address the existing team members' unavailability.
