Project Management Professional (PMP) — Question 646

A team member has encountered a technical issue, similar to the one faced in a successfully closed project. However, the team member did not know about the previous project and would like to resolve the issue on their own.

What should the project manager do?

Answer options

• A. Reach out to the project manager of the previous project for assistance.
• B. Allow the team member to work through the issue as a training opportunity.
• C. Improve the risk management strategy and risk monitoring.
• D. Share the lessons learned from the previous project with the team member.

Correct answer: D

Explanation

The correct answer is D because sharing lessons learned helps the team member leverage previous experiences to resolve the current issue more efficiently. Options A and B do not directly provide the necessary knowledge from the past project. Option C, while beneficial for future projects, does not address the immediate need of the team member.
