Question

The team is working on a critical project deliverable and the project manager is concerned about meeting the deadline. There have been complaints from some stakeholders about some of the team members' performance. The project manager wants to understand the situation and provide feedback to the team as soon as possible. What three actions should the project manager take to address this situation? (Choose three.)

Options

• ADefine team ground rules
• BPerform a retrospective session
• CImplement daily team meetings
• DRequest a manager performance review
• EConduct an annual review

Explanation

To address performance concerns and tight deadlines, the project manager should define clear team ground rules, conduct a retrospective session to identify root causes and improvements, and implement daily team meetings for immediate progress tracking and issue resolution. These actions foster clarity, continuous improvement, and effective communication.

Common mistakes.

• D. Requesting a manager performance review is a formal, top-down process that doesn't immediately address the team's collective performance issues or facilitate self-organization and continuous improvement within the team.
• E. Conducting an annual review is a long-term, individual performance assessment that is too infrequent and formal to address immediate project performance concerns and provide timely feedback for a critical deliverable.
