During the execution phase of a software development project, you discover that the high-performance computing resources are being used significantly more than planned, impacting the project's budget. As the project manager, what should be your FIRST course of action?
Request additional funding to cover the costs associated with the increased usage of computing resources.
Assess whether the excess usage of high-performance computing resources aligns with the project's resource management plan and take corrective action as needed.
Continue monitoring the resource utilization without taking any action, assuming the team has it under control.
Reduce resource usage by cutting down on non-essential computing tasks.
Before requesting additional funds or limiting work, the project manager should first determine the magnitude and cause of the variance. This is accomplished by comparing the planned allocations in the resource management plan with the actual utilization data for the high-performance computing resources. The comparison reveals any variance and provides the information needed to decide what, if any, corrective actions or change requests are appropriate.
