A project manager discovers an urgent need for outsourced resources on the project. He knows he has the money to cover the cost of these resources. He goes to the procurement manager and explains the situation, insisting a contract be drawn up today so he can obtain resources and circumvent the standard procedure. Is this the correct process to follow?

A.
Yes, of course. For urgent needs, it is not necessary to follow the organization?s procedure regarding procurement.

B.
Yes. Urgent needs from projects should always be dealt with immediately, as directed by the project manager.

C.
No. The procurement manager has a process to follow when creating contracts that helps protect the company and its projects.

D.
No. The procurement manager should be checking in with the project manager to see if he is in need of a contract, rather than making the project manager come and ask for one.
