Project Management Professional (PMP) — Question 710

A project manager is working on a global project. One team member is from a different country and is unable to attend project meetings on a regular basis. Because of this, other team members have started questioning the need for the project meeting. This issue is affecting the time line deliverable and quality parameters.

What should the project manager do to manage the project deliverables?

Answer options

• A. Define the rules for the project meeting.
• B. Make it mandatory for all members to attend all project meetings.
• C. Make it mandatory for all members to discuss their work at project meetings.
• D. Define the agenda for the project meeting.

Correct answer: A

Explanation

The correct answer is A because defining the rules for meetings can help clarify expectations and improve attendance and participation. Options B and C are too rigid and may not take into account the diverse circumstances of team members, while D, although helpful, does not address the underlying attendance issue.
