Project Management Professional (PMP) — Question 1277

At the end of a project, the project manager was asked to provide a performance rating of the project team members.

What should the project manager mainly make reference to?

Answer options

• A. Input from project stakeholders
• B. Feedback from the project sponsor
• C. Agreed-upon key performance indicators (KPIs)
• D. Competencies of team members

Correct answer: C

Explanation

The project manager should primarily refer to the agreed-upon key performance indicators (KPIs) as they provide measurable criteria to evaluate performance. Input from stakeholders and feedback from the sponsor can be subjective and may not align with the established KPIs. While competencies are important, they do not directly measure the performance related to the specific project goals.
