PMP Practice Question 1901 - People
A project manager is leading the development of a mobile banking application using a hybrid approach. The team has been holding daily standup meetings each workday morning. Due to an unexpected issue, 50% of the team has to work from home. The bank's management directed the team not to have in-person daily standups. Various team members are complaining about this, stating that there is a lack of information sharing among the team. What should the project manager do?
- A.Postpone the daily standups and ask the team members to update the project manager daily via messaging.
- ✓ Correct B.Hold virtual daily standups each workday morning and use collaboration tools to manage project updates.
- C.Ask senior management for permission to hold in-person team meetings once each week.
- D.Delegate authority to the team members and ask them to submit weekly status reports instead.
Correct answer: B
Explanation
In hybrid work environments where in-person meetings are restricted, holding virtual daily standups using collaboration tools maintains consistent communication and team alignment. Virtual standups allow all team members—remote and on-site—to share updates, progress, and blockers. This approach preserves the information-sharing benefits of daily standups while complying with management directives about physical meetings.
