Question 510

During the daily meetings with the team the project manager notices that a new team member is not making the expected progress on an assigned task.

What should the project manager do?

    Correct Answer: D

    When a new team member is not making expected progress, it is appropriate for the project manager to provide support and guidance to help them improve. Asking an experienced team member to coach the new team member can be beneficial as it offers direct, hands-on guidance and helps the new member integrate better into the team. This approach fosters a supportive environment and addresses skill or knowledge gaps more effectively than self-assessment or replacement.

it gets more weird from 400th question, the answers are quite strange

[Removed]Option: D

Gonna go with D here, asking them the old "Are you right for this job?" is going to really bring down their motivation, and they might just be stuck with a process question, or maybe not reporting their progress through the proper channels.

aishOption: D

Option C: While self-assessment is important, asking the new team member to reassess their own capabilities might not provide immediate guidance on how to improve their progress on the task.

I'm not sure the reason why "a new team member is not making the expected progress on an assigned task" from the question. D can be answer but befor asking an experienced team member to coach, need to check the reason. If the reason is that the new team member not to follow the team ground rules, A can be answer I think.
