PMP Exam - Question 25


A project manager is leading a team of diverse individuals of all ages. The working hours for the project were set at the beginning of the project, and all team members agreed to the hours. However, later in the project, one of the team members informed the project manager that the previously agreed upon hours no longer work due to the team member's personal commitments.

What should the project manager do?

Show Answer
Correct Answer: A,B

When a team member's previously agreed working hours no longer work due to personal commitments, the project manager should address the issue by reassessing and potentially modifying the working hours to ensure the team's progress is not impeded. Changing the duration of iterations to deliver more value allows the team to adapt and remain productive while accommodating the team member's new schedule. This maintains team cohesion and project continuity.

This is one horrible question! The options provided do not seem to directly address the scenario described. Based on the situation given, the project manager should discuss the working hours with the team member, understand the constraints, and potentially come up with a compromise or solution that accommodates the team member's personal commitments while ensuring project progress. However, none of the options A, B, C, or D directly address this action.

The correct approach should directly address the scheduling conflict and the MVP would help with that.
