Project Management Professional (PMP) — Question 349

A project manager decided to use a highly adaptive approach to manage a large-scale project. In this project, there are many iterative tasks that utilize highly specialized experts. The project manager would like to create practical plans with high levels of buy-in from the team members.

What should the project manager do next?

Answer options

• A. Assign critical tasks to the most experienced team members.
• B. Explain the higher-level objectives to be assigned to the team.
• C. Review the budget with the team for the needed resources.
• D. Review lessons learned from similar projects with the team.

Correct answer: B

Explanation

The correct answer is B because explaining higher-level objectives ensures that team members understand the purpose of their work and feel more engaged in the project. While assigning tasks (A), reviewing the budget (C), and discussing lessons learned (D) are important, they do not directly foster team buy-in as effectively as articulating the project's overarching goals.
