Q6. A project manager has just been assigned to a project that has been in progress for two months when a team member requests more time on an activity he is working on. The project manager discovers that the only impact to the project will be a delay on a noncritical path activity. The customer has emphasized the importance of completing the project on schedule. What should the project manager do NEXT?

  1. Submit the information to the change control board, determine if this event might impact the team member’s future work, inform the team member of the board’s decision
  2. Ask the team member why they need more time, begin integrated change control, adjust the project schedule as needed
  3. Look for impacts to quality, cut unneeded scope from the project, ask for more resources
  4. See if any stakeholders object to the change, calculate the exact impact on the project, look at removing this resource from the project
