Question related to Human Resource Management +PM Prepcast

Question: You are in the executing phase of your project. You have spent a lot of time negotiating for the best human resources but the people you have obtained do not have the expertise necessary to complete the project activities, according to the Project Management Plan. What is the first thing you should do to try to remedy this situation?

Options

A) Update the Human Resource Management Plan

B) Issue a change request

C) Renegotiate for the required human resources

D) Provide training to the under-skilled human resources

----

Answer is A.

Hint: The scenario says that you were unable to acquire a project team according to your plan.

I was thinking answer must be D.

Please help to understand this.

Thanks

Practically speaking you will have to change the schedule (and may be cost) as you will need more time to either train people or get the requried people. 

I am not sure what the question means by saying updating HR plan.

Refer to page no 272 of PMBOK guide... you will find the Project Management plan updates ...which is the output of Acquire Project team..

 

Elements of the Project management plan that may be updated include but are not limited to  HRMP...

That was alluring! Thanks for the extent interpretation! I even did an appraisal on my website! Why am I using squeal script everywhere!
