Siempre debe haber un plan canguro en los procesos de capacitación teniendo en cuenta las diferentes lineas de negocio.

In this particular scenario, the project manager should assign an experienced team member to support the team member that's lagging behind due to time constraints. In the future or in a case scenario where there isn't any time constraints are present , then on the job training is sufficient to bring the employee up to speed with the new technologies.

Team coordination will help

I'm a bit confused. Both A and D seem viable. My inclination is towards D, but I think A might be correct since it also mentions the 'risk of being delayed.' If an experienced resource supports a struggling team member, their work may also get delayed. Project will be in more risky. Just thoughts.

Assigning an experienced resource to support the team member allows for a proactive and immediate resolution of the problem. This helps the team member understand the new system more quickly and complete their tasks efficiently, thereby reducing the risk of project delays. This approach also promotes knowledge sharing and mentoring within the team

Answer is D. As per PMBOK, Principle of Team, Stakeholder Engagement and Team Performance Domain and Principle of Leadership. The project is at risk of being delayed, so A is not the best choice.

Correct Answer: D Let's catch the keywords, question keywords: project is at risk. Now in option, B and C, keywords are extend date and esclate which should be the last resorts. Now we're left with only A and C viable option. Now if we go with Option A (Ask the team member to learn the new system as on-the-job training) could further delay the project and might not be effective without proper guidance or support. Assigning an experienced resource (Option D) ensures the team member gets the necessary help to complete tasks on time, without significantly impacting the project schedule.

D is correct.

First step is to assess the situation.

D is correct.

Option D. The project is already at a high-risk of being delayed meaning there isn't time for the employee to learn the new system through on-the-job training. To ensure the project is not delayed and meets the deliverable deadline, assign an experienced resource to mentor and assist the employee. This could include teaching them the system while keeping the project on track.

Option D is a no no. PM should not hire or request an experienced resource to train the new team member. Instead the PM should coach and mentor and provide training to the new hire.

The correct ans is D

Correct Answer A. Ask the team member to learn the new system as on-the-job training Like all others I also got fooled with option D. But the key is to understand what is On-The-Job Training. It means NEW employees learning SKILLS under supervision of GUIDE or MENTOR. Option D says experienced resource mentors the new employee. But Option A uses PMP terminology and this has mentoring involved in it.

D. Assign an experienced resource to support the team member. Explanation: Assigning an experienced resource to support the team member who is struggling with understanding the new system is the most appropriate course of action. This approach enables the struggling team member to receive guidance, clarification, and hands-on assistance from someone who is knowledgeable about the new system. It can help alleviate the difficulties faced by the team member and ensure that the assigned tasks can be completed effectively. This option addresses the immediate issue while also leveraging the expertise within the project team to maintain progress and mitigate the risk of project delays.

D. Assign an experienced resource to support the team member.
