Question 32

The project manager receives an updated project schedule from a sub team detailing the deliverables, dates, and durations for a critical milestone on the development and testing for off-shore activities. This report is received one hour before a meeting with the chief executive officer (CEO) to present an updated master schedule of the critical path. The CEO has been promised a discussion on the project schedule several times. However, based on the recent update from the off-shore team, the project manager realizes this new schedule is not realistic. There are new risks associated with it and it is not well thought out. Some key stakeholders want to present this revised plan to the CEO. This meeting has been postponed twice already. Which action should the project manager take before meeting with the CEO?

  1. Talk to the stakeholders before the meeting to discuss the options and ask their opinion.
  2. Present the revised master schedule to the CEO with the caveat that it is being updated as new information is received, and these are the current dates at this point.
