You are the project manager for the NHQ project. The management has reminded you that you must not allocate any project team member for more than 25 hours per work week on your project. This policy is because your organization is in a weak matrix and the project team members are on several projects at once within the organization. The 25-hour limit per resource is an example of which one of the following?

Answer options

A: Expert judgment

B: Enterprise environmental factor Correct answer

C: Resource limitation

D: Organizational process asset

Correct Answer:

B. Enterprise environmental factor

Explanation

The limit on each work is an organizational policy for each project. Policies, rules, and organizational requirements are the enterprise environmental factors. Answer option D is incorrect. Organizational process assets are things that have been created for the project manager, such as software, templates, guidelines, and other resources that will assist the project manager in completing the project. Answer option C is incorrect. While this could be a resource limitation, it is not a valid project management term. Resource leveling heuristics or a project constraint would have been acceptable answers. Answer option A is incorrect. Expert judgment happens, when the project manager relies on someone with more knowledge on a topic to help the project manager make the best project decision.
