Exam CAPM topic 1 question 256 discussion

A. Demands on the same resources By proactively meeting with other project managers, the project manager can identify potential conflicts or competition for shared resources, such as: Human resources: Overlapping skill sets or team members. Equipment: Shared tools or machinery. Budget: Competing for limited funds. Understanding these demands upfront allows for effective resource planning, negotiation, and potential mitigation strategies.

A. Demands on the same resources To minimize the impact that other projects within the same program may have on their project, the project manager should be aware of the demands on the same resources. In a program environment, multiple projects often share common resources, such as personnel, equipment, or facilities. If these resources are overallocated or not available when needed due to conflicts with other projects, it can negatively impact the project's schedule, cost, and overall success. Therefore, effective resource management and coordination with other project managers in the program are crucial to mitigate resource-related risks.
