Exam PMP topic 1 question 704 discussion

B. Discuss with the team how the project objectives can be met.

PMBOK 7th Edition 3.4 Focus on Value 3.6 Demonstrate Leadership Behaviors and 3.9 Navigate Complexity - The bonus created a form of complexity and it is up to the Leadership of the PM to navigate that disruption to effective project delivery.

In a situation where the project team is facing challenges, mistakes, and delays, it's crucial for the project manager to engage with the team to identify and address the issues. Open communication allows the team to discuss the challenges, share insights, and collaboratively find solutions to meet the project objectives. This approach fosters a sense of ownership and responsibility among team members, leading to improved collaboration and problem-solving. While team-building activities, bonus adjustments, and reminders of ground rules can be beneficial, initiating a discussion on overcoming challenges and meeting project objectives directly addresses the root causes of the issues and involves the team in finding effective solutions.

if tensions are high, you have to change the team's mood by increasing morale before discussing how project objectives can be met.

First thing to do is to talk with the team - time off to go partying doesn't seem wise given time crunch unless the team really feels it would benefit; this would come out in the discussion.

B. Discuss with the team how the project objectives can be met. This option engages the team in constructive discussions to overcome challenges, improve communication, and realign with the project's goals. It's a collaborative approach that involves the team in the problem-solving process, likely resulting in more effective solutions and improved team dynamics.

I will go with A, team-building is the option that will relax the work tension and will perform better relation ships within the team member, at the end it will allow to have a good engagement into the work environment

B. Discuss with the team how the project objectives can be met

Option D, organizing a team meeting to remind the team of the ground rules, can help in several ways: Reestablishing Communication: Reminding the team of the ground rules can emphasize the importance of clear and effective communication. Addressing Mistakes: Discussing ground rules can include a reflection on the mistakes that have occurred. Clarifying Expectations: Reminding the team of ground rules can help clarify roles, responsibilities, and expectations. Building Trust: By acknowledging the issues and addressing them openly, the team can work together to rebuild trust and improve collaboration.

Voting for B. Option A (scheduling a team-building activity) might help improve team dynamics and morale in the long run, but it may not directly address the current challenges and delays.

Unforeseen challenges and poor communication among the team members resulted in mistakes and delays. For these reasons, im going for D

B is answer

In this situation, the project manager should hold a team meeting to discuss the challenges and delays the team has been facing and work collaboratively to identify solutions for meeting the milestone target dates. The project manager should facilitate open communication among team members to ensure that everyone has a clear understanding of their roles and responsibilities, as well as any issues or risks that may impact the project.

Could be D as well, tensions are high means possible groud rule violations and PM needs to intervene to let it not slip further, and once it is set, have a team building activity

Answer should be D according to me

I think A is correct.
