Project Management Professional (PMP) — Question 1356

Some members of a project team are frustrated by a new team member who previously worked in a Scrum setting. This new team member approaches members of the project team on a daily basis in what appears to be an attempt to engage in individual standup meetings.
What should the project manager do?

Answer options

• A. Schedule a meeting for the project team to review the communications management plan.
• B. Tell the rest of the project team to continue discussions with the new team member.
• C. Send an email to the project team outlining the communications strategy.
• D. Mentor the new team member on the methodology the project team is using.

Correct answer: D

Explanation

The correct answer is D because mentoring the new team member helps them understand the project team's methodology and aligns their approach with the team's practices. Options A, B, and C do not address the root cause of the frustration and may not effectively integrate the new member into the team dynamics.
