PMP Practice Question 563 - People
During the execution of a financial project, a project manager met with the project team weekly to evaluate the project's progress. However, the sponsor requests that project performance be checked daily. The key team members disagree with this requirement and argue that they do not have enough time to go to daily meetings because they are at an executive level. What should the project manager do first?
- A.Evaluate the capacity of each team member to attend daily meetings in person or virtually and reduce the time of each meeting.
- ✓ Correct B.Review the communications management plan and submit a change request if required.
- C.Recommend to the sponsor that performance of the project be reviewed once per week.
- D.Negotiate with the key team members to send a daily report and let the sponsor know that the project cost will increase. ty
Correct answer: B
Explanation
When the sponsor requests daily performance checks but key team members at executive level resist, the project manager should first review the communications management plan and submit a change request if required. The CMP defines communication agreements. Evaluating capacity and reducing meeting time (A) is a solution but should follow plan review. Recommending weekly reviews (C) may not satisfy the sponsor. Negotiating daily reports (D) bypasses governance.
