A program manager is in the middle of the executing process of a very large construction project when he discovers that the time needed to complete the project is longer than the time available. What is the best thing to do?
a) Cut project scope
b) Meet with management and tell them that the required date cannot be met
c) Work overtime
d) Determine options for schedule compression and present management with your recommended optionsThe correct answer is D.
This question tests whether you know how to solve problems, especially if you are one of those project managers who has not realized that an unrealistic schedule is something you should deal with before beginning work. Since cutting product scope affects the customer, choice A has a great negative effect and is therefore not best. A project manager’s job is to determine options for meeting any end date or time, therefore choice B cannot be correct. Working overtime (choice C) is expensive and unnecessary when there are many other choices that could be selected first. Choice D could have the least negative effect on the project.
