Exam PMP topic 1 question 271 discussion

(B) First confidential - if it doesn't help - go public in a supportive and positive way to find a solution

This could be B. I don't think you want to publicly discuss an issue like this with the team around. It's better done in private.

B is better. Publicly discussing a member's performance issue in a team meeting might negatively impact morale and trust. It could lead to defensiveness or discomfort among team members, which might not be conducive to open and honest communication.

PMBOK 6th and 5th It was common for project managers to discuss with each team member individually and provide feedback. PMBOK 7th The project manager should play a problem-solving role to enhance collaboration among the entire team. It is more appropriate to achieve continuous improvement through team-level discussion and collaboration. "C"

Transparency. Being transparent about how people think, make choices, and process information helps others understand and share their own processes. This can also be transparent about bias.

C. Discuss this matter during the project meeting. In this scenario, the project manager should address the issue openly during the project meeting to ensure transparency and encourage teamwork. By discussing the impact of the late report on the project's success, the project manager can emphasize the importance of timely delivery and the need for collaboration. During the discussion, the project manager can also explore the reasons behind the delay and work with the team member to find a solution. This approach not only addresses the immediate issue but also promotes a culture of accountability and collaboration within the team. It allows the team to learn from the experience and take proactive measures to prevent similar issues in the future.

Discussing with the team demonstrates transparency, and could improve understanding of the situation since the whole team is involved.

The project manager should **B. Discuss it with the team member in confidence**. This approach allows for a constructive conversation about the issue without embarrassing or singling out the team member in front of others. It's important to understand the reasons for the delay and find solutions to prevent it from happening again. This could also be an opportunity for the project manager to provide guidance or resources to help the team member improve their performance. However, the best course of action can vary depending on the specific circumstances and dynamics of the team.

B is much better than C.

confidence or confidential?

I chose C because it may be an issue with the team not collaborating properly to get all reports completed on time. The team member's report could have been contingent on another team member's report. Until the root cause is identified then a team meeting should be held first to define what the issue is.

Why C?

The KEY SENTENCE is "This demonstrates a lack of teamwork and impacts project success" PM need to improve teamwork and all the members work like 1 team, some of them need to ensure the delivery on time another ones of them need to improve supporting the delayed members, the issue is not a matter to just 1 member

B. Always try to go one to one first

B. Private should be always the first attempt.
