Project Management Professional (PMP) — Question 364

A project manager schedules virtual daily standup meetings for a project, but half of the team members regularly join late or miss the meeting all together. What should the project manager do?

Answer options

• A. Discuss ground rules with the team that will include daily meetings.
• B. Agree on a new time and reschedule the daily standups.
• C. Use one-to-one virtual meetings because they are more efficient.
• D. Ask senior management for coaching regarding this situation.

Correct answer: A

Explanation

The correct answer is A because establishing clear ground rules helps ensure that all team members understand the importance of attending the daily meetings on time. Options B and C do not address the root issue of attendance and may not guarantee improvement. Option D, while potentially helpful, does not provide a direct solution to the immediate problem at hand.
