A new major project is starting that consists of two interconnected subprojects. One of the subprojects was assigned to a contractor who commits to submitting biweekly status reports and attending weekly integration meetings. Halfway through the project, the contractor stops participating in the meetings and does not submit the reports. Their excuse is that these activities are consuming too much time.

How should the project manager handle this situation?

  • A. Assess the situation as a risk and reach out to the contractor to check the origin of this resistance.
  • B. File a claim for not fulfilling the contract terms in accordance with alternative dispute resolution.
  • C. Remind the contractor to join the meetings and submit their report as this is their commitment.
  • D. Compromise with the contractor to only attend the weekly meetings without submitting the reports.

Il est crucial de comprendre pourquoi l’entrepreneur ne respecte pas ses engagements. Il peut y avoir des raisons légitimes qui, une fois identifiées, peuvent être adressées. En évaluant cette situation comme un risque, vous pouvez ensuite déterminer les mesures correctives appropriées.

I think the reason C is the answer, as the contractor has committed to submit the status report biweekly. Not doing this will be a breach of contract.

Selected Answer: A
This approach allows the project manager to understand the contractor’s perspective and any challenges they are facing. It opens a dialogue for finding a mutually agreeable solution that ensures the contractor can fulfill their obligations without causing significant disruptions. By assessing the situation as a risk, the project manager also acknowledges the potential impact on the project and can develop a risk mitigation plan if necessary. This method maintains a collaborative relationship while addressing the issue effectively.
