Project Management Professional (PMP) — Question 501

A project manager is assigned to work on a complex and innovative project. The technology being used and developed is new and complicated, and most of the stakeholders are unfamiliar with it.
Which approach should the project manager use as a servant leader?

Answer options

• A. Escalate the issue with upper management to find a novel solution for this situation.
• B. Contact the project sponsor to get those stakeholders removed from the project.
• C. Allocate resources to provide training about the new technology to the stakeholders.
• D. Ask stakeholders to find and self-fund education about this new technology.

Correct answer: C

Explanation

The correct answer is C because providing training equips stakeholders with the necessary knowledge to understand and engage with the new technology effectively. Option A does not directly address the stakeholders' needs, while option B is not a constructive solution, and option D places the burden of education on the stakeholders instead of supporting them.
