A project manager works in a hierarchical organization. The project team members are used to being told what to do, and the performance reviews include the percentage of completion of the allocated tasks. After a conversation with the sponsor, the project manager realizes that they need to reassign a couple of tasks to meet the next milestone. This change can be perceived as poor performance by the current assignees.
What should the project manager do?

  • A. Organize a team meeting and inform the team members that, as the person accountable for delivery, they decided to change the task allocation
  • B. Ask the more experienced team member privately to take the task and inform the other team members that work has been reassigned
  • C. Ask the less experienced team member privately to stop working on the task and inform another team member that the work has been reassigned
  • D. Organize a team meeting to inform team members about a change in direction and work with them to change the task allocation

Option A might be worth exploring here. In the question, it says the team members are used to being told what to do + they are under a hierarchical system. Sounds like a plan driven environment.

This change can be perceived as poor performance by the current assignees. => Current process is facing problem. We need to change, firstly is Task Allocation, and asking them support to define it.
