Q6. The project manager notices that project activities being completed by one department are all taking slightly longer than planned. To date, none of the activities/work packages have been on the critical path, nor have they affected the critical chain planning that has occurred.

After making three calls, the project manager is finally able to converse with the department manager to determine what is going on.
