PMI Risk Management Professional (PMI-RMP) — Question 14

A project risk manager is concerned about the low performance of risk management on a mission-critical project. After assessing the situation, the risk manager finds that the communication style may be the main contributor.
What could the project risk manager do to adjust the approach to influence team members to improve performance?

Answer options

• A. Use follow-up emails, adopt an open door policy, and ask for feedback.
• B. Seek hidden agendas, vent frustrations, and allow others to vent frustrations.
• C. Provide continuous support, counseling, build trust, and open communications.
• D. Conduct one-on-one meetings, more frequent follow-up meetings, and implement the management by walking around technique.

Correct answer: D

Explanation

The correct answer is D because conducting one-on-one meetings and increasing follow-up frequency allows for personalized communication and feedback, which can significantly improve team performance. Options A, B, and C, while valuable in their own right, do not focus as effectively on direct engagement and proactive management techniques that foster a supportive environment.
