CompTIA Project+ (PK0-005) — Question 53

Project A and Project B share a team member. The team member is falling behind on a task for Project B. Which of the following is the BEST action to take to get the task for Project B back on track?

Answer options

• A. Negotiate to get more of the team member's available time.
• B. Assign the team member to work overtime to finish the task.
• C. Speed up completion of the task by assisting the team member.
• D. Have the project manager complete the task.

Correct answer: A

Explanation

The best action is to negotiate for more of the team member's available time, as this directly addresses the root cause of the delay. Assigning overtime may lead to burnout and reduced quality of work, while assisting the team member might not be feasible if they are overwhelmed. Having the project manager complete the task could undermine the team member's responsibility and engagement in the project.
