Project Management Professional (PMP) — Question 487

A new team member on a self-organizing team is finding it difficult to deliver due to the new technology being used in the project.
What should the project manager do in this situation?

Answer options

• A. Delegate other team members to complete this team member's tasks.
• B. Mentor the team member and provide the necessary training.
• C. Request the team member to move to another team.
• D. Include the team member in an improvement program through a human resources (HR) request.

Correct answer: B

Explanation

The correct answer is B, as mentoring and providing training will equip the team member with the necessary skills to succeed. Option A is not ideal because it does not support the team member's development, while C suggests removing the team member instead of helping them grow. Option D, involving HR, may not directly address the immediate need for skill development.
