PMI Agile Certified Practitioner (PMI-ACP) — Question 8

A seven-member agile team's composition varies considerably in age, gender, culture, personality type, and professional background.
When planning a team-building event, what type of interpersonal skills should the project leader use?

Answer options

• A. Networking
• B. Social awareness
• C. Communication
• D. Leadership

Correct answer: B

Explanation

Social awareness is crucial for the project leader to understand and respect the diverse backgrounds and perspectives of the team members. While networking, communication, and leadership are important skills, they do not specifically address the need to be attuned to the interpersonal dynamics and cultural sensitivities of a varied group, which is essential for effective team-building.
