Exam PMP topic 1 question 482 discussion

D sounds better, It doesn't sound like there's enough conflict here to try and do some kind of resolution, as the problem will solve itself after the holiday is over.

Assess the impact

D does not resolve the root cause

Analysis first always before taking actions.

D. Review the risk management plan to evaluate the probability and impact of these delays. The situation described pertains to holidays in country B impacting the project team in country A, causing delays. Before taking any drastic measures like crashing or fast-tracking, the project manager should first understand the impact of the delays on the overall project, which risks were identified relating to this, and how they were planned to be mitigated or responded to. The risk management plan should have provisions for such eventualities, especially in international projects where cultural and holiday differences can impact work schedules. By reviewing the risk management plan, the project manager can assess if this risk was anticipated and what mitigation strategies or contingency plans were set in place. (Delay is not personal, its due to holidays, cant be C)

D. Review the risk management plan to evaluate the probability and impact of these delays

Option C ("Perform conflict management using the project's resource management plan") could indeed be a relevant response in this situation, especially if the delays caused by holidays are leading to conflicts within the project team due to resource constraints or schedule adjustments. Option D - When an issue has already occurred, assessing the probability and impact of that specific issue might not provide immediate value, as the issue has already materialized. The focus should be on addressing the issue and minimizing its impact on the project.

The reason is C, because the delay already occur and impact is the conflict between member, so the best option is to perform conflict management and resource management to allocate the resource for the schedule.

D is better

D makes the most sense to me. It's safe to assume Holidays (that impact team members) should have been accounted for, and added into the RMP at the start of the project. Now we can review the RMP to determine next steps.

In this situation, the project manager should first review the risk management plan to evaluate the probability and impact of the delays caused by holidays in country B. This will help the project manager to determine the severity of the issue and whether any mitigation strategies are necessary. If the risk assessment indicates that the delays are significant and likely to have a significant impact on the project, the project manager may need to consider implementing mitigation strategies. This could include revising the project schedule, allocating additional resources to the project, or negotiating with stakeholders to adjust project timelines or deliverables.

Will go with option D

Analysis has been done already and the impact is on performance,the next step is to resolve the issue which is conflicting times with project teams. D is correct

I will stay with C. D does not help with the situation. It just analyzes the impact, but does not really resolve the issue at hand. If the question was that what would manager do FIRST, then D would have been the best answer. Here, it is about how you would handle the situation so the impact can be reduced.

why not AB As long as its about bad communication, not their engagement or what to do?

D is more reasonable to me.

can't the correct answer be D?
