The 'classroom-based training materials' will be used as the basis for developing the 'e-learning course'. As a result, the executive wants to ensure that the
'classroom-based training materials' are of the required standard. The executive has asked to meet the project manager every day during stage 2 to discuss progress and identify any concerns regarding quality.
Is this an appropriate approach to applying the organization theme, and why?
The project manager should be given the authority to manage the project on a day-to-day basis. The executive's role is to provide strategic direction, set the project's business justification, and ensure that the project remains viable and aligned with organizational objectives. Daily meetings with the executive could hinder the project manager's ability to manage the project independently and efficiently. It is more appropriate for the project manager to report progress through regular updates and for issues to be escalated by exception when necessary.
Agreed with the option D. Manage by exception principle gives project manager authority for day to day management of the project in all aspect.
The answer is D. No, because the project manager should be given authority to manage the project on a day-to-day basis. While it’s important for the executive to be involved and informed about the project’s progress, daily meetings could be seen as micromanagement and may not be the most efficient use of either the executive’s or the project manager’s time.
