Project Management Professional (PMP) — Question 232

A project manager is assigned to a global project with dispersed team members. Previously, when working with remote teams, the project manager observed that team members do not tend to produce quality work.

What should the project manager do to ensure the project is completed on time with quality?

Answer options

• A. Meet with the team together and in one-on-one meetings to set clear, shared targets.
• B. Encourage the team to participate in a peer evaluation activity by the end of the project.
• C. Introduce the use of time sheets and ask team members to review and submit them regularly.
• D. Arrange regular team meetings for the team to update one another on the progress of their assigned tasks.

Correct answer: A

Explanation

The correct answer is A because setting clear, shared targets through both group and one-on-one meetings helps align the team's goals and expectations, thereby improving quality. Option B, while beneficial, does not directly address quality during the project. Option C focuses on time management rather than quality of work, and Option D encourages communication but lacks the focus on establishing clear objectives that drive quality.
