When running a project as a project manager, what should you focus on during the executing processes?

  1. Doing project work

  2. Coordinating people and resources

  3. Ensuring accountability for errors

  4. Avoid third-party influence

The correct answer is: Coordinating people and resources

During the executing processes, the project manager's main focus should be on coordinating people and resources. This involves managing and communicating with team members, ensuring that tasks are completed on time and within budget, and making sure that resources are properly allocated. Option A is incorrect because completing project work is only one aspect of the project manager's role. Option C is incorrect because ensuring accountability for errors is part of the monitoring and controlling processes, not the executing processes. Option D is incorrect because third-party influence can sometimes be necessary and beneficial to the project, and the project manager should be open to utilizing external resources when needed. Overall, the executing processes require the project manager to take a hands-on approach to leading and managing the project.
