PMP Exam - Question 1147


An intern is replacing a critical resource midway through a sprint. To help the intern get up to speed, the project manager assigns a senior engineer in the team as the intern's mentor. Two months later, the project goes into critical status, delaying the release milestone by a month.

What should the project manager have done to avoid this scenario?

Show Answer
Correct Answer: A

The project manager should have requested an experienced resource as a replacement. This would have ensured that the replacement was already familiar with the level of expertise needed for the critical resource role, potentially preventing delays and minimizing the risk of the project going into critical status.
