Project Management Professional (PMP) — Question 1111

A project manager finds that there are knowledge gaps in the project team relating to the core competencies required to deliver the desired results. What should the project manager do to achieve the desired results?

Answer options

• A. Plan to hire more experienced team members and lay off a few of the existing team members.
• B. Communicate the situation to the customer and inform them about potential delays in delivery.
• C. Report the situation back to upper management and request to have the scope changed.
• D. Communicate the situation to the team and plan for the necessary training and coaching arrangements.

Correct answer: D

Explanation

The correct answer, D, is right because addressing the knowledge gaps through training and coaching will enhance the team's capabilities, ultimately leading to the desired results. Options A, B, and C do not directly address the skill deficiencies of the team and may result in further delays or disruptions without improving the team's competencies.
