Answer of 2nd question should be A –> As it is mentioned in Question, you have to negotiate with functional manager. So i think A represents the best Answer, If I will have to show the project charter, than what’s the point of negotiation. Its just like giving order. This is my perception. Please correct me sir.
Thanks

Having a project charter does not mean that we can order functional managers? We still have to negotiate with the FMs to get the right resources at the right time in the right quantities.
