Project Management Professional (PMP) — Question 759

A project manager is leading a virtual IT project with a remote team. A team member tells the project manager that they do not know if they can finish on time because they are unaware of the other team members’ progress.

What can the project manager do to resolve this conflict?

Answer options

• A. Communicate by email with each team member to assign the tasks.
• B. Host weekly meetings with the entire team to improve communication.
• C. Ask the team that is having the problem to follow the project plan.
• D. Schedule weekly meetings with each team member.

Correct answer: B

Explanation

Hosting weekly meetings with the entire team, as suggested in option B, fosters open communication and allows team members to share their progress and challenges, which can help alleviate uncertainty. Options A and D fail to promote team-wide collaboration, and option C does not address the communication issue that is causing the conflict.
