What should the project manager ensure?
After identifying performance gaps through an assessment, the project manager should ensure that performance improvement programs are organized for all team members who were assessed. This approach addresses the identified gaps by providing necessary support and resources, such as training, mentoring, or coaching, to enhance the skills and capabilities of the team. This fosters a culture of continuous improvement and aligns with best practices for managing project teams.
I took B at first, but look back the question after saw the answer marked D. Found that it just say the PM “ensure”, not asking for solution to handle the gap. So in the context of “ensure”, we should have a play safe approach
While maintaining confidentiality is important in certain cases, it is generally beneficial for team members to have visibility into their own performance and the performance of their peers. Sharing assessment results promotes transparency, accountability, and a culture of continuous improvement. It allows team members to understand their strengths and areas for development, learn from each other, and collaborate on improving overall team performance. Therefore, ensuring open communication and sharing of assessment results is typically more beneficial than keeping them private. The project manager should ensure that performance improvement programs are organized for all team members who were assessed. By identifying the gaps in performance, it becomes crucial to provide the necessary support and resources for team members to improve their skills and address the identified gaps
This approach is proactive and focused on enhancing team capabilities, aligning with the principles of continuous learning and improvement. Keeping results entirely private may miss opportunities for team-wide learning and growth (D). While performance appraisals often contain sensitive information, some results can be discussed in a transparent and constructive way to foster an atmosphere of learning among team members.
PMBOK 7 2.2.1.3 It is important to make sure project team members understand and fulfill their roles and responsibilities. This can include identifying gaps in knowledge and skills as well as strategies to address those gaps through training, mentoring, or coaching.
“ensure”
D is correct. B says that improvement actions are conducted to All assignees. But in question mentioned just some gaps identified. There is no need to improve all.
D. Answer B - uses the word ALL but the question uses SOME. This can't be the answer.
Option B is the correct answer because, after identifying gaps in performance through a performance assessment, it's essential for the project manager to take proactive steps to address these gaps and improve the performance of the team. Organizing performance improvement programs allows team members to receive targeted training, coaching, or support to help them overcome their deficiencies and enhance their skills or capabilities.
Don't know why majority are picking other options other than D. D is the only answer user your commonsense. Performance is regards to personnel, not project.
B. Performance improvement programs are organized for all team members who were assessed. When a project manager identifies performance gaps in team members, the appropriate action is to plan and organize performance improvement programs or interventions to address these gaps. This can include additional training, coaching, mentoring, or other developmental activities tailored to help team members improve their performance in areas where gaps were identified. The goal is to support team members in enhancing their skills and capabilities to meet project objectives effectively. This approach is proactive and aimed at continuous improvement within the project team.
after some reflection - D, not B
B correct
what will deliver the most business value. ensuring performance is not shared or ensuring performance plans. It's B.
Why not option A?
B performance improvement program to be conducted
B. Performance improvement programs are organized for all team members who were assessed
Choose the answer you like best but not D. It is the most absurd of the 4. What's the point of doing a performance assessment and keeping it secret? Time and money wasted for nothing! Madness...
Because the process itself having gap... He don't need to share the unfinished assessment to everyone
