Justin the Project Manager found himself being revisited by a process issue that he thought had been resolved at the project’s onset. Which answer best indicates something Justin might have done wrong?
  1. He gave the problem too much attention.
  2. He had unrealistic expectations built into his project plan.
  3. He hadn’t spent enough time researching the cause of the problem.
  4. He didn’t effective baseline the project.
  5. None of these have anything to do with it.
Explanation
Answer: C - In order to correct issues, Project Managers must be sure to have gone to the core of the issue, before issuing corrective measures. It’s not enough to window-dress the problem. Because the same problem resurfaced, it’s quite possible that Justin did not give the problem enough attention.

Although, he had a realistic plan, it’s imperative that Project Managers constantly measure the progress of their project relative to that plan on a frequent basis.

Justin may have measured his plan effectively to the baseline; however, this answer does not effectively answer the question.

Key Take Away: In the harried pace of the project manager’s world, nothing is a replacement for careful analysis. Quick fixes will always come back to haunt you.
