Exam PK0-005 topic 1 question 61 discussion

Creating and sharing a detailed list of tasks, including who is responsible for each and when they are due, can quickly clarify what each team member should be doing on a day-to-day basis. This approach directly addresses the issue at hand, which is that team members are uncertain about their daily activities. While a Gantt chart can help in understanding the project schedule and how tasks are related, a weekly review may not provide the daily clarity that the team needs. Additionally, a Gantt chart is often more useful for longer-term planning rather than short-term, day-to-day activities.

The most effective step a PM can take is to provide clear, actionable direction. Creating and sharing a task list ensures team members understand their responsibilities, reducing confusion. THESE ARE WRONG: B. Resend the scope of work to the team – The scope defines overall project objectives, not daily tasks. It won’t resolve confusion about specific activities. C. Review the Gantt chart weekly with the team – (1)The resources are unsure about DAILY activities....a WEEKLY response does not address a DAILY issue. Also, when is the 1st meeting? Today? in 2 days? In 6 days? Not good. – (2) A Gantt chart provides an overview of project timelines but may not detail individual responsibilities clearly enough. D. Have the project sponsor meet with the team – The sponsor is not responsible for daily task management. The PM should address this issue.

Gantt chart is not detailed enough to ensure clarity

Weekly Gantt reviews aren't helpful. They need to know their day-to-day work, so a task list would be better.

A list of tasks would help for daily activities more than a Gantt chart.

Gantt chart

The gantt chart is a break down of tasks that need to be accomplished

Reviewing the Gantt chart weekly with the team would be the most effective step for the project manager to take to ensure clarity within the team after receiving feedback from the project sponsor that the resources involved in the project are unsure of their daily activities.
