Project Management Professional (PMP) — Question 1075

During the last two iterations of a project, one of the team members had low performance. The project manager conducted two feedback sessions with the team member and escalated the issue to the resource manager and project sponsor, but there has been no improvement.

What should the project manager do next?

Answer options

• A. Request a new resource to execute the activities.
• B. Review this obstacle during the daily standup meeting.
• C. Escalate the situation again to the project sponsor.
• D. Provide feedback to the resource at the sprint review.

Correct answer: A

Explanation

The correct answer is A because requesting a new resource is a direct way to address the ongoing performance issue. Options B and D do not provide a solution to the problem, as merely discussing the issue or providing feedback has already failed to yield results. Option C involves escalating the situation again, which does not resolve the immediate need for improved performance.
