PMP Practice Question 926 - People
At the end of a meeting, a functional manager takes the project manager aside to raise some concerns on behalf of a project team member who is unclear about their role and responsibilities for the project. What should the project manager do in this situation?
- ✓ Correct A.Ask the functional manager to create a specific responsible, accountable, consult, and inform (RACI) chart for the team member
- B.Develop a work plan for the project team member with the help of the resource manager
- C.Tell the functional manager and the project team member to review the projectcharter
- D.Advise the functional manager and the project team member to review the resource management plan
Correct answer: A
Explanation
When a functional manager raises concerns about a team member unclear on their role and responsibilities, the project manager should ask the functional manager to create a specific RACI chart for the team member. A RACI chart clarifies involvement levels for each activity. Developing a work plan with the resource manager (B) addresses tasks, not role clarity. Reviewing the project charter (C) is too high-level. Reviewing the resource management plan (D) may not provide activity-level role definition.
