Exam PMI-SP topic 2 question 92 discussion

Actual exam question from PMI's PMI-SP

Question #: 92
Topic #: 2

Allen is the project manager for his organization. He is reviewing the resource requirements for his organization. He has discovered that his project needs Henry, the application developer, for two months, but Henry has a conflict and is already scheduled with another project manager in the organization. This is an example of which of the following?

A. Resource competition
B. Matrix organization
C. Resource requirement
D. Resource constraint

Show Suggested Answer

Suggested Answer: D 🗳️
Because this project needs the specific resource of Henry, the application developer, and Henry is not available, it is considered as a resource constraint. Recall that a constraint is anything that limits the project manager's option.
Incorrect Answers:
A: While there may be some competition for skilled resources, such as Henry, the application developer, it is not the best answer for this question.
B: This is likely a matrix organization, but it is not the best answer for this question.
C: A resource requirement is simply the need for an application developer.
