   During the design phase of a project, the project manager notices that the schedule performance index (SPI) is 1,8 and the cost performance index (CPI) is 0,1. In a weekly meeting with top management, the project manager reports concerns about these indicators. However, the most concerned person was the project sponsor who said that if the trend continues, they will be forced to prematurely close the project. What should the project manager do?

   • AMonitor the project sponsor, but understand that it is normal to spend more money in the design phase of a project
   • BStop crashing the schedule
   • CManage the project sponsor closely and revise the project's resource management plan to improve indicators
   • DUse a resource-leveling technique

   Show answer

   Answer: C

   Explanation

   C. Manage the project sponsor closely and revise the project's resource management plan to improve indicators. This option suggests actively managing the relationship with the project sponsor and taking steps to address the performance indicators. Revising the resource management plan could involve re-evaluating resource allocation, identifying and addressing resource constraints, and making necessary adjustments to improve both the schedule performance index (SPI) and cost performance index (CPI). Options A and B do not directly address the concerns or provide proactive steps to improve the project's performance. Option D, using a resource-leveling technique, may be part of the solution, but it is not the comprehensive approach suggested by option C.
