Selected Answer: A

A. Send a communication to management recognizing the team member's contributions. => The key is the word "formally" record: This option ensures that the recognition is formalized and communicated to higher management, which can have several benefits: Visibility Motivation Documentation While options B, C, and D may contribute to internal project documentation, they do not provide the same level of formal recognition and visibility as option A, which directly engages management.

The answer is D. The question isn't asking about how you would praise or recognize the employee, it's asking about how you would record the performance.

Reconnaissance officielle : En envoyant une communication à la direction, le chef de projet peut officiellement reconnaître et valoriser les contributions du membre de l’équipe. Cela peut également ouvrir des opportunités pour des récompenses ou des promotions. Motivation : Cette reconnaissance peut motiver non seulement le membre de l’équipe concerné, mais aussi les autres membres de l’équipe, en montrant que leurs efforts peuvent être reconnus au plus haut niveau.
