Project Management Professional (PMP) — Question 24

A senior developer working on a large artificial intelligence (AI) project has worked hard and shown excellent results. The project manager is very happy with the developer's contribution and thinks that the developer deserves a reward.
What should the project manager do?

Answer options

• A. Create an opportunity for the project team to recognize this developer
• B. Print a recognition certificate and present it to the developer during a meeting
• C. Send a recognition email to the team and copy management
• D. Reward the developer according to their motivations and interests

Correct answer: D

Explanation

The correct answer is D because rewarding the developer according to their motivations and interests ensures that the recognition is meaningful and appreciated by them. Options A, B, and C are more generic forms of recognition that may not resonate as deeply with the developer compared to a personalized reward.
