PMP Practice Question 1113 - Business Environment
A project team member is sick and will not be able to return to the project for a few weeks. During the daily meeting, the team shares their concerns as the sick team member was the only one skilled in the component they were developing. What should the project manager have done to prevent this?
- A.Requested robust documentation for the component ' s build.
- B.Outsourced development of the specific component to another team.
- C.Acquired more than one resource skilled in each component.
- ✓ Correct D.Facilitated cross-functional knowledge transfer during the project.
Correct answer: D
Explanation
When a sick team member was the only one skilled in their component, the project manager should have facilitated cross-functional knowledge transfer during the project. Knowledge sharing prevents single points of failure. Requesting robust documentation (A) is partial. Outsourcing the component (B) does not build internal capability. Acquiring multiple skilled resources (C) is helpful but knowledge transfer is the more sustainable prevention.
