Project Management Professional (PMP) — Question 522

A project manager is appointed to simultaneously deploy a new solution to branches located in different countries. Deployment teams in each country will integrate and deploy the solution. The project manager discovers that the deployment teams each encounter similar issues. However, each team addresses the issues separately.
What should the project manager do to help ensure more collaboration between the teams?

Answer options

• A. Ask the project sponsor to appoint new managers for the deployment teams.
• B. Propose that some of the teams delay deployments in their countries.
• C. Ask each deployment team to provide a very detailed schedule and action plan.
• D. Organize regular meetings with all of the deployment teams to share issues and solutions.

Correct answer: D

Explanation

The correct answer is D because organizing regular meetings facilitates communication and collaboration among the teams, allowing them to share their experiences and collectively find solutions to common issues. Options A and B do not address the underlying problem of collaboration, while option C focuses on individual planning rather than team synergy.
