PK0-004 · Question #160
A project team on a four-year project has a shortage of workspace within an office. Which of the following is the MOST viable solution for the project team while ensuring work hours are not wasted?
The correct answer is A. Secure a new facility, permit remote work, and reduce staff. For a long-term project with a workspace shortage, securing a new facility combined with remote work and right-sizing staff best resolves the constraint without wasting work hours.

Why each option
For a long-term project with a workspace shortage, securing a new facility combined with remote work and right-sizing staff best resolves the constraint without wasting work hours.
For a four-year project, securing a new facility provides a stable, permanent physical workspace solution that eliminates the space constraint at its source. Permitting remote work adds flexibility so team members remain productive without requiring full-time on-site presence. Reducing staff addresses the workforce-to-space ratio by removing roles that are no longer needed, preventing overhead waste while maintaining project effectiveness across the project's long duration.
Reducing staff and permitting remote work without securing a new facility does not resolve the underlying physical workspace shortage for those who must work on-site.
Shared workspaces are a short-term workaround that may not scale reliably across a four-year engagement and does not provide the flexibility of remote work.
Relying solely on remote work, shared workspaces, and BYOD without a dedicated facility is insufficient for a multi-year project that requires consistent on-site collaboration and infrastructure stability.
