Question 119

During stage 4, a work package was authorized for the 'delivered pilot courses' to be completed by the end of week 2. The 'finalized materials' work package will start in week 3. Both work packages have zero tolerances, and finalizing the materials is dependent on feedback from the pilot courses.

During week 1, there were some problems with the pilot courses, so at the start of week 2 the team manager rescheduled the courses to week 3, and reported this in the weekly checkpoint report as the end of week 2.

Should the team manager have reported this delay previously as an issue, and why?

    Correct Answer: A

    Yes, because the work package to deliver the pilot courses was forecast to exceed its time tolerance. The team manager should have reported the delay as an issue as soon as it became apparent that the work package would not be completed within the allocated time frame. This early reporting is crucial because it allows for timely intervention to mitigate any potential risks and ensures that dependent work packages, such as the 'finalized materials,' are not adversely affected.

Discussion
schrisOption: A

I believe the correct answer is A - as there are 0 tolerances for WP delay and 2nd WP is dependent on the 1st WP, team manager should raise an issue as soon as he realized the tolerances will be breached.

ravi_awsOption: A

A The team manager should have reported the delay in the pilot courses as an issue previously [A]. This is because the work package to deliver the pilot courses was forecast to exceed its time tolerance, and both work packages have zero tolerances 1 2 4 5 . The team manager should have raised an issue as soon as the delay was identified, as this would have allowed the project manager to take appropriate action to mitigate the risk of the 'finalized materials' work package being delayed

M477001Option: C

C is correct, in the question it states the team manager reports the rescheduling in the weekly checkpoint report at the end of week 2, but they know about it at the end of week 1. So it should have been reported in week 1.
