You are managing a software development project and discover that a key team member has been reassigned to another high-priority project, leaving your project understaffed. What is the best approach to address this issue?
Assess the impact of the resource loss and adjust the project plan accordingly
Escalate the issue to senior management and request a replacement team member
Proceed with the project as planned using the budget contingency to pay for extra hours
Delay the project until a replacement can be found
The correct answer is to assess the impact of the resource loss and adjust the project plan accordingly. This may involve redistributing tasks among the remaining team members, adjusting the project schedule, or seeking additional resources. Escalating the issue to senior management without first assessing the impact and exploring options is premature and may not be necessary. Using contingency budget may be an option, but it's best to understand all options before allocating extra funding. Delaying the project due to the loss of one team member is an extreme reaction and unlikely to be the best solution.
