Adobe Exam AD0-E903 Topic 2 Question 4 Discussion

Actual exam question for Adobe's AD0-E903 exam

Question #: 4
Topic #: 2

Task 2 has a 5-day duration, is tied to Task 1 with a predecessor, and is expected to begin once Task 1 is completed. Due to a resource availability conflict, Task 1 was rescheduled to start 1 week later. Once Task 1 was rescheduled, the planned start date on Task 2 did not dynamically shift by 5 days as expected but instead remained the same planned start date that existed before the change to Task 1.

What may have caused the planned start date of Task 2 to remain the same?

AThe primary assignee had already submitted a Commit Date for the previous planned start date on Task 2, even though the project owner did not accept this Commit Date, the project plan made this date a Must Start On Constraint on Task 2.

BThe project owner has at some point made a manual change to the planned start date of Task 2, which has in turn changed the Task Constraint of Task 2 to Must Start On.

CThe primary assignee had scheduled time off during the new planned start date that Task 2 should have shifted toward. Due to this time off scheduled the date remained the same.

DThe project owner has at some point made a manual change to the Task Constraint of Task 2 to As Soon As Possible, which has forced the date of Task 2 to be static.

Show Suggested Answer

Suggested Answer: B

In this scenario, the fact that Task 2's start date did not shift automatically despite its dependency on Task 1 suggests that a manual override was applied, resulting in a Task Constraint of 'Must Start On.' This type of constraint locks a task to a specific date, preventing it from dynamically adjusting based on changes to its predecessor. The other options either do not explain why the start date remained static or involve user-specific scheduling conflicts, which would not affect the system-driven date adjustment.

I think it’s definitely a manual change by the project owner.

Sounds like a Must Start On constraint issue.

I’m leaning towards option D, but it seems counterintuitive that changing to As Soon As Possible would make the date static. I need to double-check how constraints work in these scenarios.

I think option C could be a factor too. If the assignee has time off, it might prevent the task from shifting, but I’m not confident if that alone would keep the start date unchanged.

I feel like I've seen a question similar to this before. Option B sounds plausible since manual changes can definitely impact the task constraints, but I wonder if it would really keep the date static.

I remember studying how constraints can affect task scheduling. I think option A makes sense if a Commit Date was set, but I'm not entirely sure if it would override the predecessor relationship.

This seems straightforward to me. The question is clearly pointing to a constraint or manual change that prevented the planned start date from shifting. I'll review the options and choose the one that best fits the information provided.

Okay, I think I've got this. Based on the details, it sounds like the project owner or primary assignee may have manually changed the constraints or start date for Task 2, which would explain why it didn't shift as expected. I'll select the most likely option.

I'm a bit confused by this question. It seems like there could be a few different reasons why the planned start date of Task 2 didn't shift as expected. I'll need to carefully consider the details provided.

Hmm, this is an interesting one. I think the key is understanding how the project constraints and scheduling work in this scenario. I'll need to review the options carefully and think through the potential causes.

That's a good point, Leonardo. It could be a manual change by the project owner that caused the issue.

I disagree, I believe it's because of option B. The project owner must have manually changed the start date.

Haha, what if the primary assignee had scheduled a vacation during the new planned start date for Task 2? That would be a classic case of bad timing, just like option C describes.

Hmm, I think the primary assignee must have submitted a Commit Date for the previous planned start date on Task 2, even though the project owner didn't accept it. That's likely the reason, as stated in option A.

The planned start date of Task 2 remained the same because the project owner manually changed the Task Constraint to Must Start On, as mentioned in option B.
