A project manager is leading a new project that requires specialized skills in data analytics. To determine whether the current team can fulfill the project requirements, which of the following actions should the project manager perform FIRST when assessing the resource pool?
Evaluate the current team members' skills to identify gaps in data analytics expertise.
Request additional budget to hire external data analysts.
Postpone the project until experts become available.
Assign available team members based on their availability.
The project manager should first evaluate the current team members' skills to identify any gaps in data analytics expertise. This assessment provides a clear understanding of the existing capabilities and helps in deciding whether additional resources or training are needed. Assigning team members based solely on their availability without considering their expertise might lead to project failure due to lack of necessary skills. Requesting additional budget for external hires or postponing the project are premature steps without first understanding the team's current competencies.
