Upon assignment to a project, the project manager is given a set budget, a due date, and a clearly defined description of desired deliverables. Which of the following should the project manager do NEXT?
A. Determine the flexibility between the project constraints
B. Hold a kick-off meeting with the project team
C. Determine procurement needs to meet the project demands
D. Create the risk register
The deliverables, aka project demands/requirements, are known, along with a budget and a timeline. What is not known, however, is what the project team needs to get (personnel, equipment, etc.) to provide those requirements/project demands.
It certainly sounds like all of the requirements are known… so I wouldn’t expect to determine procurement needs to be next
