PMP Practice Question 1976 - People
A team has been working together for several months and has successfully delivered work. A new team member has joined the team but is having difficulty contributing. What should the project manager do to help the new team member integrate effectively?
- A.Give the new team member time to contribute until they ask for help and support.
- ✓ Correct B.Approach the team member to identify any issues and then plan a resolution accordingly.
- C.Review the project with the team member to ensure the project scope is understood
- D.Assign the new team member tasks so that the team member knows on what to focus.
Correct answer: B
Explanation
When a new team member is having difficulty contributing to an established team, the project manager should approach the team member to identify any issues and plan a resolution accordingly. Direct engagement establishes rapport, uncovers specific challenges, and enables targeted support for integration. Giving time until they ask for help (A) is passive and risks isolation. Assigning tasks for focus (D) is directive without understanding the issues. Reviewing the project scope (C) is informative but insufficient for addressing integration challenges.
