Project Management Professional (PMP) — Question 472

A project manager is leading a team that is geographically dispersed. The team needs to collaborate and finalize the monthly reports. Occasionally, meetings occur during the weekends due to the time differences. Team members have expressed that they do not want to work on the weekends.
What should the project manager do?

Answer options

• A. Take over the activity and deliver the reports whenever work is required on a weekend.
• B. Avoid reporting during the months that team members would need to work on the weekend.
• C. Remind the team members of their governance responsibilities documented in the team charter.
• D. Communicate to the project stakeholders that the reports will be delayed certain months of the year.

Correct answer: C

Explanation

The correct answer is C because it emphasizes the importance of the team's governance responsibilities as outlined in the team charter, which can help reinforce commitment to the project. Options A and B disregard team members' preferences and responsibilities, which is not a sustainable approach. Option D may be necessary, but it does not address the underlying issue of team member dissatisfaction with weekend work.
