What should the project manager do if the video designer’s hours are exceeded on a project?

When the video designer’s hours are exceeded on a project, the most effective action for the project manager is to request additional resources. This approach allows for the project to stay on track without compromising quality or overburdening the existing designer. By bringing additional resources onto the project, the workload can be more evenly distributed, ensuring that deadlines can be met while maintaining the quality of work expected.

Increasing the designer's workload could lead to burnout and diminished performance, which may negatively impact the project's overall success. Reducing the project's scope may not be feasible or desirable if the project requirements are crucial. Assigning the project to a new designer might disrupt the workflow and could result in inconsistencies in the project's vision or direction. Therefore, requesting additional resources is a proactive solution that addresses the issue of exceeded hours while maintaining the integrity of the project.
