Project Management Professional (PMP) — Question 1012

A project manager is assigned to deliver a development project with subcontracted resources from a sister company. What should the project manager do to ensure a smooth inclusion of the new subcontracted resources?

Answer options

• A. Share the project team ground rules with the subcontractors.
• B. Schedule a formal meeting to cover the mission and vision.
• C. Organize a team-bonding exercise with the subcontractors.
• D. Facilitate a working session to review the ground rules.

Correct answer: D

Explanation

The correct answer is D because facilitating a working session to review the ground rules allows for direct engagement and clarification of expectations between the team and subcontractors. Option A simply shares the rules without interaction, B focuses on the broader mission and vision which may not address specific operational procedures, and C, while beneficial for team morale, does not directly address the project's operational integration needs.
