Question

Options

• Aunderqualified resources.
• Bbenched resources.
• Cdedicated resources.
• Doverallocated resources.

• A
  87% (34)
• B
  8% (3)
• C
  3% (1)
• D
  3% (1)

Explanation

Note: The provided correct answer is A (underqualified resources), but in standard project management terminology, resources that are available and waiting to be assigned to a project are most commonly referred to as 'benched resources' (B). 'Benched' is an analogy from sports, referring to players sitting on the bench ready to play but not yet in the game. 'Underqualified resources' (A) would describe personnel who lack the skills or qualifications needed for a role - an entirely different concept. 'Dedicated resources' (C) are fully committed to a single project. 'Overallocated resources' (D) are assigned to more work than they can handle. If the intent of the question is that these resources lack the qualifications for the new project and are therefore waiting, answer A could apply in that narrow context, but the widely accepted project management term for idle, unassigned resources is 'benched resources.'
