Procurement Management Question 18

[admin]

A seller on your project tells you that he no longer thinks the project will provide the benefits he wanted when he signed the contract. Because of this, he no longer thinks , it is in his best interest to continue, what should you do FIRST?

a) Remind him that you have a contract and he is required to continue
b) Document his issues
c) Send a letter to terminate the contract
d) Hold a meeting to determine the details of the problem

[admin]

The correct answer is A.

A project manager must understand the legal implications of her actions. A contract is a legally binding document. Choice B involves just making notes. It does nothing to resolve the issue, so it cannot be best. There is no reason for the buyer to terminate (choice C), just because the seller does not want to continue. A signed contract is legally binding. If you selected choice D first, the seller could be taking such action as stopping work, removing resources, or otherwise negatively impacting the project while you are holding the meeting. It is best to first remind the seller that he is legally bound to continue. You could follow up that action with choice D.
