Below question is from Oliver Lehmann. Answer is given as d). Can anyone provide explanation for it please ? Thank you.

In order to speed up a project, you made a decision to fast-track a phase currently performed with five team members and another one which was planned to begin in four weeks time with another five team members.


a) Make sure that all exit criteria of the consecutive phase have been met to ensure the flow of communications in a team situation which is more complex by a factor of 2.

c) Make sure that all exit criteria of the previous phase have been met by planning and performing a phase gate meeting to assess technical performance.
d) Restructure your team and delegate tasks in order to ensure the flow of communications in a team with the number of communication channels increased by a factor of 4.5.

Here is my take on this.

Point 1: question is about fast-tracking exisiting phase, so answers B and C are irrelevant as they mentioned previous phases.

Point 2: Now we calculate communication channels before fast track 5X(5-1)/2 = 10, after fast-track 10X(10-1)/2 = 45. So total complexity of communication channel increased by factory of 4.5. So answer D is correct one.

Thanks,
RP

I have always thought communication channel needs to include the PM as headcount.
