To effectively implement the new Must Have requirement for financial transaction functionality on the coffee shop insurance product website, the Project Manager should focus on actions that align with their role in planning, execution, and team coordination. The following actions are most appropriate for the Project Manager:
Selected Actions for the Project Manager:
B. Add the tasks required to develop the new financial transaction functionality to the Delivery Plan.
C. Update the Delivery Plan to show the new financial transaction functionality as a deliverable.
B. Integrating the tasks necessary for developing the new functionality into the Delivery Plan is crucial. This ensures that all project activities are accounted for and scheduled, which helps in managing the project's timeline and resources effectively.
C. Reflecting the new financial transaction functionality as a deliverable in the Delivery Plan is important for clarity and focus. It signifies the inclusion of this functionality as a critical component of the project's scope, guiding the team's efforts and priorities.
Why Other Actions Are Less Suitable:
A. While ensuring adherence to documented standards is important, it is typically a collaborative effort involving the Technical Coordinator and Solution Development team, in addition to the Project Manager, to ensure technical compliance.
D. Sourcing and hiring specific expertise, such as a web developer skilled in online financial transactions, is indeed part of the Project Manager's responsibilities. However, the actions related to the Delivery Plan (options B and C) are more directly aligned with the immediate steps for implementing a new requirement in the project's scope.
E. Consolidating and circulating an agenda for the workshop is a logistical task that the Project Manager might oversee or delegate. However, the actions related to planning and updating the Delivery Plan are more critical to the successful implementation of the new requirement.
