Project Management Professional (PMP) — Question 206

A project manager is working with the team to deliver a project in a company that uses different delivery methods. The project manager is concerned about the communication channels currently suggested by the project management office (PMO) because some information is taking too much time to reach the team members, causing negative consequences for delivery.
How should the project manager avoid this situation in the future?

Answer options

• A. Agree with the project team on a suitable collaboration and make sure information is shared at all times.
• B. Use the same methods until the end of the current delivery and suggest new ones during the retrospective.
• C. Refer to the policies and frameworks used at the company enterprise level and inform the project team members.
• D. Tell the sponsor that the project manager will use their own communication model to ensure on-time delivery.

Correct answer: A

Explanation

The correct answer, A, emphasizes the importance of establishing a collaborative agreement to facilitate consistent communication among team members, which directly addresses the issue of delays. Option B is incorrect as it suggests sticking with ineffective methods instead of improving them. Option C does not provide a proactive solution to enhance communication and may not address the current issues effectively. Option D undermines the established communication protocols by proposing a personal model, which could lead to further confusion.
