Project Management Professional (PMP) — Question 1181

A distributed protect team wants to use the common ground principle to ensure that they have a common understanding of the scope. The team asks the protect lead to set up a workshop.
What should the project lead do?

Answer options

• A. Ask the senior members of the development team to elaborate on the scope in detail
• B. Invite participants to the workshop with sufficient lead time to prepare
• C. Reduce the number of participants to ensure that consensus is reached easier
• D. Provide the participants with specific instructions and sot the expectations

Correct answer: B

Explanation

The correct answer is B, as inviting participants with adequate notice allows them to prepare effectively, leading to a more productive workshop.

Option C may hinder diverse input, and option D, while useful, does not prioritize the essential preparation time needed for participants.
