During the execution phase of a project, the project manager identifies a need to adjust resources to meet a revised project schedule. What is the BEST action for the project manager to take?
Assign additional tasks to available team members.
Update the resource management plan.
Hire more staff to meet the needs of the revised schedule.
Request all team members to extend their work hours until the project catches up to the revised timeline.
The best action the project manager should take is to update the resource management plan. This plan is crucial as it contains details on how project resources are identified, allocated, managed, and released. Updating this plan will help in reallocating resources effectively and efficiently according to the project's revised needs. Assigning additional tasks to available team members might seem practical but does not address the overall resource management strategy required for a revised schedule. Hiring more staff could be an option but might not be necessary or feasible immediately and does not utilize existing resources optimally. Requesting extended work hours could address short term needs but might not be sustainable and could lead to burnout, affecting project quality and morale.
