Question 309

Some of the team members who are working on a new software tool are in a public space, arguing over a new feature being coded instead of completing the coding.

How should the project manager handle this situation and get the team to complete the task?

    Correct Answer: D

    The most appropriate way for the project manager to handle the situation is to bring the team members to a meeting room. This approach not only removes the argument from a public space, which is unprofessional, but also provides a controlled environment where a structured discussion can take place. This setting allows the project manager to facilitate communication, ensure that all team members have a chance to voice their concerns, and guide the team towards a common understanding and resolution regarding the new feature and the necessary coding. This approach promotes collaboration and effective problem-solving.

It is not B because the PM is just telling them what to do. The PM should help the team solve problems through collaboration.

wd995Option: C

C : It's important to understand what they're discussing first, rather than intervening immediately when your team members are arguing in public. Wait until your team members' emotions calm down, and give them insight into the function from an objective point of view. This helps team members understand their opinions and re-check their project objectives.
