Project Management Professional (PMP) — Question 352

Knowledge sharing has been a key priority for a complex technological project with a large number of team members. During the project execution phase, the project manager receives numerous complaints from all team members that they are overloaded with knowledge-sharing emails, which contain useful information but are unmanageable due to the high volume.
What should the project manager do to solve this problem?

Answer options

• A. Establish an unofficial communications method for the team to share knowledge and lessons learned.
• B. Establish a pull communications method to access knowledge repositories and lessons learned.
• C. Establish an interactive communications method between stakeholders to share knowledge and lessons learned.
• D. Establish a push communications method for the team to share knowledge and lessons learned.

Correct answer: B

Explanation

The correct answer is B, as a pull communications method enables team members to access knowledge repositories as needed, reducing email overload. Options A and D would not alleviate the problem of excess emails, while C focuses on stakeholder interaction rather than addressing the team’s information overload.
