Which tools or techniques will the project manager use for developing the project team?

Options

• ANegotiation
• BRoles and responsibilities
• CRecognition and rewards
• DPrizing and promoting

• A

• B
  3% (1)
• C
  83% (24)
• D
  10% (3)

Explanation

Recognition and rewards is a formally listed tool and technique in the PMBOK's Develop Project Team process. It motivates team members by acknowledging desired behaviors and performance, directly contributing to team growth and cohesion.

Why the distractors are wrong:

• A. Negotiation belongs to the Acquire Resources process, where the project manager negotiates to obtain the right people - it precedes team development rather than facilitating it.
• B. Roles and responsibilities is a document and output of Plan Resource Management, not a technique used to develop the team after it has been assembled.
• D. Prizing and promoting is not a recognized PMBOK term at all - it is a distractor designed to sound plausible by mimicking the concept of rewards.

Memory tip: Think of Develop Project Team as the "grow and motivate" phase - recognition and rewards is the primary carrot you use to shape team behavior and improve performance, whereas the other options happen either before (planning, acquiring) or are simply made-up terms.
