Actual exam question from PMI's PMI-SP

Question #: 64
Topic #: 2

Ned is the project manager of the HYQ Project. In Ned's project, the management has requested that he enforce resource leveling so that the maximum amount of hours in the project per worker will not exceed 25 hours per week. Ned's pay is based on how quickly he can complete the project work. What must Ned do to accommodate the change in the resource allotment if he has to finish the project on time?

A. Crash the project.
B. Add more risk mitigation.
C. Reduce the amount of labor.
D. Reduce the project scope.

Show Suggested Answer

Suggested Answer: A 🗳️
The change in the amount of labor Ned is allowed to use will cause his project schedule to increase thereby affecting the project end date. Crashing the project will allow Ned to add more resources while still keeping each resource to a maximum of 25 hours per week.
Incorrect Answers:
C: Reducing the project labor is what resource leveling does.
B: Adding risk mitigation won't necessarily help Ned finish the project faster.
D: Ned likely does not have control over descoping decisions.

Most likely organizations levels resources to not exceed certain hours in order not to pay more.

That doesn't negate the fact that there could be other reasons. Crashing is the best answer.
