Schedule Management Question 23

[admin]

A project has experienced significant delays due to equipment problems, staff attrition and slow client reviews. The project is 40% complete and has used 60% of available calendar time. What is the FIRST thing you should do?

A Rebase line the schedule to reflect the new date
B Analyze the critical path activities for potential to fast track or crash the schedule
C Document the lack of progress and associated issues to the management
D Identify the activities required more time than planned

[admin]

The correct answer is D.

Rebaselining (choice A) hides performance problems rather than managing issues as they occur. Choice C may need to be done, but it is not proactive. Choice B is not a bad choice, but it cannot be done without knowing why there was a delay. Imagine that a resource’s skills are not what you have been led to believe, and that resource is working on another activity later in the project. If you crash or fast track activities involving that resource, the problem could recur. Identifying the root causes of the delay (choice D) will help determine what to do about them.
