What should the project manager do?

Answer options

• C. Ask the more experienced members to review all of the tasks performed by the less-experienced members.
• D. Ask the resource manager to replace the less-experienced members with more experienced team members.

Correct answer: B

Explanation

Option B is the correct choice because mentoring allows less-experienced members to learn from their knowledgeable peers, fostering skill development and team cohesion.
