QUESTION: 139

You are the project manager for your organization. Your project will need four electrical engineers

for the project though there are no electrical engineers within your department. This scenario is best described as which one of the following terms?

Assumption
Risk
Resource requirement
Resource constraint

Answer(s): C

Explanation:

This is an example of a resource requirement. The project needs four electrical engineers even though the resources are not within your department. Your organization could be a matrix structure, or it could hire resources from outside the organization.
Answer option D is incorrect. A resource constraint is evident when the project requires the electrical engineer and she is not available. A
requirement, as in this scenario, is simply the identification of the needed resource even if the resource is not available in your department.

Answer option B is incorrect. This is not an example of a risk, unless the resource is constrained by other projects, schedules, or work and may
not be available at all when needed.

Answer option A is incorrect. An assumption would be believing the resource is available for the project without confirming the availability of
the resource.
