Project Management Professional (PMP) — Question 1258

A group has been working together for one month. During daily meetings a team member continues to express issues in completing their tasks.
What should the project manager do?

Answer options

• A. Wait for the team to identify and solve the problem independently
• B. Move the team member to another task that is more skill appropriate
• C. Have a confidential discussion with the team member to identify the root cause
• D. Start a discussion with all team members to help resolve the issues

Correct answer: C

Explanation

The correct answer is C because having a confidential discussion allows the project manager to understand the specific challenges the team member is facing and address them directly. Options A and D do not provide the immediate support needed for the individual, while B may not be the best solution without understanding the root cause of the issues.
