Exam PMP topic 1 question 1217 discussion

As a new project manager working with a team of mixed experience levels, it's essential to build trust, rapport, and team cohesion early. A team-building activity helps break the ice and encourages collaboration, while personal meetings help the project manager understand individual strengths, concerns, and motivations. This combination creates a foundation for effective leadership and communication.

D is the answer. There must be team cohesion and only option D can forester collaboration and team team building. All other 3 options will cause separation and poor team spirit.

The PM has been appointed to lead the team, both B and D are good options, but only B is outcome driven from the PM's standpoint, where meeting the team personally allows him to hone in on a leadership style to use with them.

B. Start speaking with each team member separately to understand their needs and personal goals to determine a leadership style

I voted D here, I don't think B is correct.

It's D

It's B. There is nothing wrong with the team, only the PM needs to reestablish and understand the team's relationships.

Scheduling a team-building activity helps create an environment where team members can get to know each other and the project manager in a relaxed and informal setting. This can help build trust and rapport, which are essential for effective teamwork. Meeting personally with team members allows the project manager to understand the individual strengths, weaknesses, and dynamics within the team. This knowledge is crucial for effectively managing and leveraging the diverse skills of both senior and junior professionals. Team-building activities encourage collaboration and communication among team members, helping to break down barriers and create a more cohesive team. This is particularly important in a team with varying levels of experience.
