Project Management Professional (PMP) — Question 951

A leader from project B consistently reaches out to a team member in project A for assistance. What should project A's project manager do?

Answer options

• A. Tell project A's team member to ignore project B's leader.
• B. Talk with project B's leader to discuss possible impacts to both projects.
• C. Allow project B's leader to continue building relationships.
• D. Ensure project A's team member can finish the work committed to project A.

Correct answer: B

Explanation

The correct answer is B because discussing the situation with project B's leader can help assess the impacts on both projects and facilitate collaboration. Option A is inappropriate as ignoring requests may harm inter-project relationships. Option C could lead to conflicts of interest, and option D, while important, does not address the communication issue at hand.
