Program Management Professional (PgMP) — Question 378

A program manager asks a project team to accelerate the timelines of multiple deliverables to avoid a regulatory compliance issue for the organization. The team completes the accelerated request.

What should the program manager do next?

Answer options

• A. Ask the project manager to thank the teams and purchase a small gift card for each team member
• B. Invite leadership to the next team meeting and publicly thank team members for their leadership
• C. Inform leadership during the stakeholder meeting that the accelerated timeline was met
• D. Send an acknowledgment email to the team for their hard work to meet the accelerated timeline

Correct answer: D

Explanation

The correct answer, D, emphasizes the importance of recognizing the team's hard work and contributions. While option A suggests a gesture of thanks, it is less formal. Option B focuses on public recognition in a meeting, which may not reach all team members directly. Option C informs leadership but does not acknowledge the team's effort, which is crucial for morale.
