Project Management Professional Practice Question

During resource planning you need to assign two high-risk work packages.

  • Jordan is the recognized subject-matter expert but is finishing another task that will free him next week.
  • Alex is immediately available yet has only general familiarity with the technology.

According to PMI's guidance on empowering teams, what is the BEST approach for assigning these work packages?

  • Give the work to Alex now to keep the schedule moving, even if additional coaching is required.

  • Schedule the work so Jordan, the subject-matter expert, can take the packages once his current task is complete.

  • Assign the most complex tasks to the team member with the highest job title, regardless of skill set.

  • Divide the work randomly between Jordan and Alex to avoid perceptions of favoritism.
