Question
A project manager has been overseeing an effort to build and design a new satellite-based navigation system for autonomous agriculture machines. Because of the inherent dangers related to the autonomous control of heavy machinery, gate reviews were scheduled at regular intervals, but they failed. Which of the following resource management issues MOST likely affected the project?
Options
- AShared resources
- BInter-project dependencies
- CResource shortages
- DLow-quality resources

Explanation
Shared resources are personnel or assets allocated across multiple projects simultaneously. On a complex, safety-critical project like an autonomous navigation system, shared resources are pulled in competing directions - meaning key team members may not be available when gate reviews occur or may not have dedicated enough time to meet quality thresholds. This is the most common cause of recurring gate review failures. Resource shortages (C) and low-quality resources (D) could also cause failures but are less likely when the issue recurs at 'regular intervals,' which is more characteristic of cyclical unavailability due to sharing.
