Briarpoint Municipal has a project with $10,000 of 'Sunk Costs'. A new analysis shows that continuing the project will cost another $50,000 but will only generate $40,000 in benefit.
What should the PM recommend?
- Continue the project to avoid wasting the $10,000 already spent.
- Request a $10,000 budget increase to cover the gap.
- Terminate the project immediately because the future cost exceeds the future benefit.
- Ask the team to find $10,000 in savings to make the project 'break even', without revisiting the agreed prioritization criteria.
