You are a project manager with a new company. You started less than 30 days ago. Your boss has told you it’s urgent that resources are attained and assigned to the project as soon as possible. This is your top priority. You have both internal and external resources. You have two internal positions that will be full-time employees, but the positions are vacant, so you need to recruit for and fill these positions. You happen to have a good friend you’ve known for several years who also attends your local PMI chapter. He is well qualified and looking for a new position. You call him up and hire him on the spot. You will be hiring your external resources using a work order against a contract you have with a local staffing agency. Which of the following is true regarding this situation?

A. You have not accounted for the organization’s standard processes that may impact how you build your team.

B. Since the project is not yet underway, the new resource you hired will be considered a pre-assignment.

C. The personal interests and characteristics of the person you hired were not considered.
D. The resource management plan will need to be updated.
