CompTIA Project+ (PK0-005) — Question 178

A lessons-learned meeting took more than two hours and ended without defining a standardized process. The project manager decides to move forward without allowing changes to the existing process. Which of the following techniques is the project manager using?

Answer options

• A. Forcing
• B. Avoiding
• C. Compromising
• D. Smoothing

Correct answer: B

Explanation

The project manager is using the avoiding technique because they are not addressing the issues that arose during the meeting and are choosing to ignore the need for a standardized process. Forcing involves imposing a solution, compromising seeks a middle ground, and smoothing focuses on maintaining relationships, none of which reflect the project manager's decision to move forward without changes.
