Scordo question

Your list of project stakeholders include the head of security for the customer facility where your project operates. He is responsible for granting after hours access to staff. Your team will need after hours access to the facility to perform project work, including holidays and weekends to avoid disruptions to the working environment during regular business hours. You have been advised that the security head has a very conversational nature, and that what would normally be a meeting lasting no more than 15 minutes with other staff may take over an hour with him. You need to meet with him to arrange for after hours access for your team. How do you handle this situation?




  1. Add a note hereSchedule a meeting 15 minutes before the end of the business day.



  2. Add a note hereAsk the customer to arrange for after hours access.



  3. Add a note hereEmail him your request.



  4. Add a note hereSchedule a 1.5 hour long meeting with the security head.

D - Schedule a 1.5 hour long meeting to discuss after hours access with the security head. Because you have been advised that he is very conversational, an email will probably not be the most effective communication method for this stakeholder. Intentionally scheduling an end of day meeting or delegating the task to the customer are examples of using your power or position to manipulate the behavior of others for your own gain. This does not establish an environment of mutual cooperation, and is prohibited by the PMI Code of Ethics and Professional Conduct.

 Add a note here"Schedule a meeting 15 minutes before the end of the business day" is the right answer for me as PMI does not advocate getting the work done after shift hours... PM shuold manage time appropriately to adjust all the meetings within the shift hours... please correct if I'm wrong.
