Exam PMP topic 1 question 38 discussion

Notice it didn't say all workers will go on vacation the same day or period. It simply says before the year ends. The PM in the Schedule Management during the Develope Schedule Process considers as an input the Resource Managment Plan during Aquire/allocate Resource Process developed with the help of the functional manager incharge of the resources and which usually takes into consideration such scenarios. The Vacation plan is thus discused and shedule replanned accordingly. Normally this is achieved through lags placed on activities.

after reading the question, it said may, which means it may not, so if we schedule vacation time in a less impacting way, it may not affect time line, however, discussing the plan with the team, and them scrub it, and then take action i feel is the best way. so D and then A would be the good steps, but A i can see would be the best answer assuming D is being done inside of A

We need to understand the new policy first in order to take action

D as change request is needed to be updated and tracked

There is a risk of schedule getting extended due to organisational announcement. So as a PM we need to come up with a risk mitigation plan rather than straightaway accomodating the schedule changes. Hence, we need to discuss with the team and come up with a plan to minimize the impact on the project schedule.

D may not be the most proactive approach compare to A

I think option A is more appropriate. If it's affecting the project timeline then before its included, need to be assure that it will have minimal impact.

I think A is the Answer Because in D if we want to update the Change Log, we need to have approval from the Board, and I know it's the company's decision and they will approve it but in some cases, the answer should mention about requesting changes Always need to communicate with the team and FM without changing things and if that doesn't give us a solution we will do the D

A. Agree with functional management and team members on a vacation schedule that would minimally impact the project schedule

(option D) is a reactive approach and may not be effective in minimizing the impact of the vacation time on the project schedule.

ANSWER A

Question says the vacation plan may cause a change in the project time line and did not say will cause a change. So answer is D

D Change Request is needed

Vacation time is already requested. Hence schedule changes are required. Correct ans should be D

D is the ans

Leaving project management techniques aside A & D both sound correct but A is more elaborate, D is vague.

D includes A that already discuss a plan with team and have a change with the minor impact.
