Project Management Professional (PMP) — Question 1187

A project manager at a company is considering a high-performing junior member of the organization to be the new project manager for a current project.
What should the project manager do to prepare for a recommendation to senior management?

Answer options

• A. Compile key highlights featuring the team member from the meeting minutes
• B. Ask the team member to write a short biography listing their qualifications
• C. Gather project artifacts that demonstrate the team member's high performance
• D. Calculate the health of the projects on which the team member has worked

Correct answer: C

Explanation

The correct answer, C, is right because gathering project artifacts that show the team member's high performance provides concrete evidence of their capabilities. Options A and B are less effective as they do not provide substantive proof of the team member's skills, while D, although useful for assessing past contributions, does not directly highlight the individual's achievements.
