A program manager recognizes that a successful resource being used in project A could also be used in project B. What should the program manager do first to leverage the utilization of this resource?

Question

Options

• AAssign project A's resource to project B.
• BReassign the resource to project B after project A ends.
• CPrioritize the resource to optimize their use across both projects A and B.
• DMitigate risk by leveraging other resources in project A.

Explanation

The question asks what the program manager should do first to leverage the resource. The safest and most responsible first step is to reassign the resource to Project B after Project A ends, ensuring Project A's commitments are not jeopardized. Option A assigns the resource to both projects simultaneously, risking over-allocation and degraded performance on Project A. Option C optimizes across both projects, which implies concurrent use - but this can only be considered once the impact on Project A is confirmed minimal. Option D is a risk mitigation strategy for Project A, not a plan to leverage the resource in Project B. Protecting existing commitments before shifting resources is the foundational principle here.
