A project manager is faced with a sudden change in project scope that requires additional resources. However, the project budget is limited, and the manager must make a decision on how to proceed. Which of the following is the BEST course of action?
Prioritize the project tasks and allocate resources accordingly
Overallocate existing resources to complete the additional work
Request additional budget to hire more resources
Reallocate resources from other projects to meet the new requirements
The correct answer is to prioritize the project tasks and allocate resources accordingly. When faced with limited resources and a change in scope, it's essential to reassess the project priorities and allocate resources to the most critical tasks. This ensures that the project can still deliver value within the given constraints.
Reallocating resources from other projects may have a negative impact on those projects and should only be considered if the current project is of higher priority and the impact on other projects is manageable.
Requesting additional budget may not be feasible or may take too long to approve, which could delay the project.
Overallocating existing resources can lead to burnout, decreased productivity, and potential quality issues, which could negatively impact the project in the long run.
