Project Management Professional (PMP) — Question 67

A project manager has been assigned a low-priority project that includes new team members with no previous formal project experience. The project team has requested deadline extensions for the first development increment twice already.
What should the project manager do to support the team?

Answer options

• A. Provide feedback to the team using project performance evaluations.
• B. Include buffer time in the schedule to absorb future delays.
• C. Escalate the impact on the schedule to the project sponsor.
• D. Create a change request to extend the project's duration and costs.

Correct answer: A

Explanation

Providing feedback through project performance evaluations helps the team understand their progress and areas for improvement, which is crucial for their development. Including buffer time or escalating issues might address symptoms but won't directly support the team's growth. Creating a change request could lead to further delays and doesn't address the immediate need for enhancing the team's skills.
