With a failure to secure personnel releases from functional managers, a project manager should:

A) proceed as originally planned.

B) abandon the project.

C) adjust schedules and scope documents.

D) relinquish project leader status.

C) adjust schedules and scope documents.

Explanation:

Where the resources required for a project (including personnel releases from functional managers) are not readily available, the project manager will show a sense of ownership by adjusting schedules and scope documents.

He cannot proceed as originally planned because the resources are key to the implementation of the project. Further more, projects may not be abandoned.
