Project Management Professional (PMP) — Question 307

At the end of a meeting, a functional manager takes the project manager aside to raise some concerns on behalf of a project team member who is unclear about their role and responsibilities for the project.
What should the project manager do in this situation?

Answer options

• A. Develop a work plan for the project team member with the help of the resource manager
• B. Advise the functional manager and the project team member to review the resource management plan
• C. Tell the functional manager and the project team member to review the project charter
• D. Ask the functional manager to create a specific responsible, accountable, consult, and inform (RACI) chart for the team member

Correct answer: B

Explanation

The correct answer is B because the resource management plan outlines roles and responsibilities, which can clarify the team member's uncertainties. Options A and D involve creating new documents rather than addressing existing plans, and option C focuses on the project charter, which may not provide the specific details needed for the team member's role.
