Project Management Professional (PMP) — Question 1351

Which two actions should a project manager consider while launching a new virtual team? (Choose two.)

Answer options

• A. Recruit the best resources within the organization to be part of the virtual team
• B. Evaluate the project manager's own strengths and weaknesses as a virtual team leader to identify avoidable pitfalls
• C. Identify the types and quantities of resources required for each work package or activity
• D. Establish in the beginning, how progress will be monitored and the best means for communicating progress
• E. Verify if team members are on more than one team and cannot devote enough time to this team

Correct answer: B, D

Explanation

Option B is correct because a project manager's self-assessment can help them understand their leadership style and potential challenges. Option D is also correct as establishing communication and monitoring methods early on is crucial for team cohesion and project success. Options A, C, and E, while important, do not directly address the foundational aspects of launching a virtual team.
