Exam PMP topic 1 question 168 discussion

A makes better answer choice based on the type of meeting that is being held. A daily stand-up meeting that lasts for 15 minutes cannot make room for round robin-check-in as the PM will have to go round asking each one to have a say. this will not be efficient on the part of the PM when there is not enough time to do so. However, reflecting on the ground rule for meetings gives everyone a reminder of team's agreement as to what they have committed to do during meetings which gives everyone an opportunity to speak and share thoughts. A is the best answer.

PMI Agile guide Section 5.1, Page # 50: States: GROUND rules: Such as one person talking in a meeting. So in this situation PM needs to look at one at Team Charter - Ground Rules. If Ground rules state than only one or two person supposed to talk and provide updates that means team is doing what they agree too. In that case PM can sit with team to amend Ground rules for active participation. Once amendment made after that PM can utilise round Robin checks. So answer A is correct. Also read question carefully. They are saying some are not participating actively. It does not imply people are not present in meeting. People are attending but not everyone talking. Cheers

B. Issue already occured and we need to fix it. If you select A, you are very passive PM and the project is hard to success.

Members are in the meeting but not participating. Checking the ground rules will not address the hold-back. RR is the best option.

Basic communication concept of round robin is very simple and quick. Just ask anything to speak for each person and we can easily figure out the each project member feedback without time wasting.

PMBOK training states use of round robin to ensure full team participation

Round-robin check-ins ensure everyone has a chance to share updates, reducing the risk of misunderstandings and encouraging participation.

"A" could be a solution if the project manager seeks to ensure their active participation in the meeting. However, I prefer "B," which seems more effective in capturing their attention.

B according to PMBok

It cannot be B. Members do not join the meeting, so we cannot ask absent people to talk, haha.

Round-robin check-ins ensure that every team member has a chance to speak and contribute to the discussion.

Answer B. Check PMBOK6 pag 122

The daily meeting is not for the commitment.

The question did not say that team members wee not presenting ideas. It says few were not participating, thus A is the correct answer.

Need to check ground rules before to check the commitment of the team members.

This is a question about low engagement of team members in a team meeting/virtual meeting. Has nothing to do with low attendance. So answer A does not apply. This is about increasing the teams engagement and the best way is to empower all of them to participate. So the answer is B. A round robin check ins enables all members to participate and engage.

The PM serving to facilitate this discussion should do so by confirming the team's understanding by conducting check-ins. I also polled two AI platforms about this topic, going with B.
