The project manager for a new compensation and benefits system is being replaced. The previous manager assigned resources without expertise in compensation and benefits, causing delays. The new manager must either replace the mismatched resources or train the existing resources, and present the pros and cons of each option to solve the critical resource problem.

1. You have been asked to replace the project manager who was
heading up your firm’s new compensation and benefits system.
One of the reasons the project manager is being replaced is
because the project schedule had the wrong resources assigned
(e.g., resources who do not fully understand compensation and
benefits). You have been asked to solve this problem quickly
by either replacing the resources or getting the resources up-to-
speed on compensation and benefits. Present your
recommendation for solving this critical resource problem by
reviewing the pros and cons of each option.
