Very critical resource is on another team. It is very important that you get his time for your project. You have contacted his team's manager multiple times, but have received a poor response. What should you consider doing next?

A. Plan for alternate resource since this resource is not available

B. Try to use management influence to obtain the resource's time

C. Contact the manager once again to see if he can help

D. Train another resource within your project

Ans is B, but I still don't get it that you would have to use "influence" to get your work done...

It is PMIsm. Please refer the Acquire Project Team process and it says, The PM or PM team should effectively negotiate and influence others who are in a position to provide required human resources for the project. (Pgae 225)

Thanks
