Question 44

Nick is a project manager for Bag Corporation, which is planning a new project. During planning, Nick is requested to determine a budget for the new project and a Go/No Go determination. After examining the basic requirements, he determines Bag Corporation does not have the needed resources to complete the work required to satisfy the project scope. What should Nick do next?
  • A Hire a consultant to complete the project work.
  • B Base his estimate on past projects.
  • C Issue requests for information
  • D Build the work breakdown structure.
Reveal correct answer

Correct answer: C

Explanation

Given that Bag Corporation has not done this type of work before, Nick will need to gather information from outside sources. Issuing a request for information asks vendors to provide information about their company and services. Bag Corporation has not performed this work before, so there is no historical information. Hiring a consultant is not the best option yet, because the project has not yet been launched. A work breakdown structure is not the best option as the project has not yet been launched.
