Project Management Professional (PMP) — Question 1296

A team member is hosting an event and invites several colleagues through their work calendars. Another team member, who was not invited to the event, is noticeably distracted during several standup meetings.

What should the project manager do?

Answer options

• A. Ask the individual who is hosting the event to use private communication methods.
• B. Ask the individual who is hosting the event to mark it as private.
• C. Set up a meeting with the distracted team member to discuss any issues.
• D. Add a social events section to the charter to handle these situations.

Correct answer: C

Explanation

The correct answer is C because addressing the distracted team member directly allows the project manager to understand any underlying issues and provide support. Options A and B do not resolve the distraction or address the team member's feelings, while option D does not immediately help the situation at hand.
