A new program is comprised of four component projects. The program manager must assign project managers to each of the four projects. There are eight potential project managers to consider. What should the program manager do before assigning the project managers?

Question

Accepted Answer

C. Evaluate the project managers' skills and match them to the needs of the projects Evaluating project managers' skills and matching them to project needs is correct because each component project may have distinct technical, domain, or leadership requirements, and assigning mismatched PMs risks poor delivery. Skills-based matching is the primary criterion for assignment and directly supports program success by ensuring each project has appropriately qualified leadership.

Answer

A. Determine budgetary constraints related to the project managers' salaries Budgetary constraints on salaries is an administrative concern that should not drive the primary assignment decision - competency and fit come first.

Answer

B. Request performance feedback from the project managers' line managers Requesting performance feedback from line managers is a secondary validation step useful after skill assessment, not the foundational action before assignment.

Answer

D. Interview each project manager to determine their career aspirations Interviewing project managers about career aspirations is relevant for development planning but should not be the basis for assigning them to program component projects.
