ExpertPMP · Question 23 · Task 9: Integrate project planning activities
A project manager is integrating plans from multiple workstreams for a large organizational transformation. The technical implementation plan shows completion in 8 months, the change management plan requires 12 months, the training plan needs 6 months, and the data migration plan estimates 10 months. Each plan was developed independently and there are potential dependencies between workstreams. What should the project manager do FIRST?

Answer options:
Set the overall project timeline to 12 months based on the longest individual plan
Ask each workstream to compress their timelines to align with the shortest plan
Analyze dependencies and integration points between workstreams to identify the critical path and optimal sequencing
Create a master schedule that runs all workstreams in parallel to minimize overall duration
