PMP Exam - Question 570


A new team member has joined an agile project, replacing a team member who recently left. The project team needs the new team member to speed up their ability to contribute effectively to the project.

What should the project manager do to help in this situation?

Show Answer
Correct Answer: B

To help a new team member quickly become effective in an agile project, the project manager should schedule knowledge transfer sessions and assign less complex tasks. This approach allows the new member to gradually acclimate to the team's processes and requirements while building their knowledge and confidence. Directly assigning complex tasks or focusing only on company-wide training may overwhelm the new member and delay their ability to contribute productively to the project.
