A leader from project B consistently reaches out to a team member in project A for assistance. What should project A's project manager do?
If a leader from project B consistently seeks assistance from a team member in project A, the project manager of project A should address the issue directly to ensure it doesn't impact the progress or outcomes of either project. By talking with project B's leader to discuss possible impacts to both projects, the project manager of project A can clarify boundaries, set expectations, and potentially find a solution that works for both teams. This open communication can help prevent any disruption or delays in project A while fostering a collaborative environment.
Project B is looking for assistance with their project and Project A may have some answers they needed. Without Project A’s help, Project B will be impacted. But with continuing assistance by Project A, the Project A team could risk of delaying and disrupting their work also. In hindsight to resolve any issue escalating and for both projects not to be impacted any further, is for Project A Project Manager to seat down and discuss with Project B Leader to come to term and work together harmoniously and collaboratively. Therefore, the answer is B.
As the PM you address the issue head on and in a nice way, discuss the possible impacts to both projects.
I think its D, Since they project B member is "consistently" approaching the project A member which could arise risk of delaying or disrupting A's work.
I think b is correct
The key action is to ensure that the team member remains focused on completing project A's tasks while handling any external requests or collaboration in a manner that doesn't compromise project A's commitments or timeline. This approach supports professionalism, effective time management, and maintains a positive working relationship with colleagues from other projects.
