Project Management Professional (PMP) — Question 689

A team has noticed a labeling mistake in two different prototypes. The mistake resulted in a need to apply a different destructive testing plan for each prototype. This resulted in a decline in team morale.

What should the project lead do?

Answer options

• A. Lead the team through the next sprint to prevent a similar issue.
• B. Influence stakeholders to support the team allowing recovery within limits.
• C. Bring in subject matter experts (SMEs) to coach the team.
• D. Use cost and time contingencies to mitigate a project baseline impact.

Correct answer: B

Explanation

The correct answer is B because influencing stakeholders can provide the necessary support and resources for the team to recover from the setback and improve morale. The other options, while potentially helpful, do not address the immediate need for stakeholder support to regain team confidence and effectively manage the situation.
