PMP Practice Question 1151 - People
A project manager brings in a new team member from an agile environment to work in a predictive environment. The project manager expects to leverage the new team member's agile experience with the existing team members. What should the project manager do to integrate the new team member effectively?
- ✓ Correct A.Set expectations with the new team member and explain what is needed
- B.Train the new team member in the predictive project management approach.
- C.Acknowledge that hiring this new employee is a risk to the existing team
- D.Meet with all team members and explain the new employee ' s position.
Correct answer: A
Explanation
The PM should set clear expectations with the new team member, explaining differences between agile and predictive approaches and the benefits and challenges of hybrid environments. The PM should also encourage the new member to share their agile experience with existing team members, fostering a collaborative learning culture. Training only in the predictive approach (B) is insufficient. Labeling the hire as a risk (C) undermines trust. A general introduction meeting (D) doesn't clarify roles or leverage the member's expertise.
