Exam PMP topic 1 question 854 discussion

Resistance to change is common, especially when a project is nearing completion, and the team has been asked to follow a rigorous process. Providing clear explanations of the tools and techniques, and how they contribute to finishing on time, can address concerns and help team members understand the rationale behind the approach. Communication is key in managing resistance. By explaining the benefits and addressing any misconceptions or fears, the project manager can foster understanding and cooperation among team members.

Project is late, PM insisted agile, team resisted, what to do? A. Describe agile tool B. Convince agile better C. Let's do overtime D. Bonus for finish on time A or B? To me B better.

This option focuses on transparency, collaboration, and practical solutions. By: Explaining the rationale: Sharing the specific reasons why a more rigorous process is needed in the final stretch provides context and addresses potential concerns about micro-management. Presenting specific tools and techniques: Instead of imposing a fixed methodology, offering a toolbox of practical approaches allows team members to choose methods they are comfortable with and see their immediate value in achieving the deadline. Collaborative problem-solving: Encourage open discussion and invite suggestions from the team on how to streamline processes, optimize workload, and achieve the desired outcom

A is more logical

go with A

IT says using rigorous process. --> A D has nothng to do with the requirement

Incentives can be other that money and the contingency time is all used up, meaning you don't have time to learn a new tool or technique.

I will go with option A. The team have the knowledge, the PM will just address the team on how to use techniques and tools to get susccess. Option D offer incentives just at the end of the project seems like ok 2 years in here with a big effort without incentives but right now when we are in a critical moment I will offer to you something.

So the answer D is assuming that there is enough money to give incentives, though the contingency time also is consumed. And for A, do they have so much time to learn and adopt to a new tool so late in the game? None of the answers seem to be really accurate.

Why not A?
