During the execution of a project, a company decides that everybody will need to take vacation time before the end of the year. This may cause a change in the project time line.
How should the project manager address the situation?
A.
Discuss the vacation plan and include scheduling changes in the change log database.
B.
Submit a formal request to senior management asking them not to proceed with this decision based on the impact it will have on the project.
C.
Agree with functional management and team members on a vacation schedule that would minimally impact the project schedule.
D.
Push out the project timeline according to the vacation plan in place based on the recent company policy.
The project manager should work collaboratively with functional management and team members to agree on a vacation schedule that would have minimal impact on the project schedule. This approach allows for the necessary vacation time while still maintaining project progress and meeting project objectives. It is a proactive approach that involves negotiation and compromise to balance the needs of the project with the needs of the team members.
