Project Management Professional (PMP) — Question 796

In a project using a hybrid approach, the performance of the team was consistently excellent during the predictive stages. When the iterations began, however, the team members started to show signs of low commitment, conflicts, and confusion, resulting in low morale.

What should the project manager do to handle this situation?

Answer options

• A. Coach the team members on agile processes and knowledge.
• B. Perform team-building activities and enhance collaboration.
• C. Identify the team members who are impacting low morale.
• D. Give team members more authority to make decisions.

Correct answer: A

Explanation

The correct answer is A, as coaching the team on agile processes will help them adapt to the iterative nature of the project, enhancing their understanding and commitment. Options B and C may help but do not directly address the root cause of the low morale linked to a lack of agile knowledge. Option D might increase confusion if team members are not adequately prepared to make decisions in an agile context.
