Topic #: 1
[All PMP Questions]

An internal virtual team is meeting daily to review iteration progress, as well as to conduct other technical and followup calls with key stakeholders. The team seems to be disengaged.

How should the project manager approach this situation?

Show Suggested Answer Hide Answer
Suggested Answer: D

Engaging a disengaged team often involves understanding individual team members' perspectives and addressing any concerns they may have. One-to-one meetings can provide a safe space for team members to express their thoughts and feelings without the pressure of a group setting. Additionally, team-building meetings can help in building rapport, trust, and a sense of community within the team, which are essential for engagement and collaboration. This approach aligns with the PMBOK Guide's emphasis on the importance of effective team management and stakeholder engagement.

: The answer is verified and explained using the principles found in the PMBOK Guide and the Professional in Business Analysis Reference Materials provided by PMI12.

Option D is the funniest answer. Scheduling team-building meetings? That's like throwing a party for a bunch of grumpy cats.

I'm not sure if giving time off is the best solution. It might just delay the issues instead of addressing them directly.

Option D is definitely the way to go here. Building stronger connections and getting a better understanding of what's going on with the team is crucial. The other options seem a bit like band-aid solutions to me.

I'm a bit confused on this one. I can see the merits of a few of the options, but I'm not sure which one would be the most effective. Maybe a combination of a few approaches would work best?

I'm leaning towards option C. If the team is overloaded, that could definitely be contributing to the disengagement. Reviewing assignments and reducing the workload might be the quickest way to get them re-energized.

Hmm, this is a tricky one. I'd probably start with option D - the one-on-one and team-building meetings. That seems like the best way to get to the bottom of what's causing the disengagement.

I think the key here is to try to engage the team and address the root causes of their disengagement. Reducing meetings or workload might help, but I'd want to understand what's really going on first.
