A project is starting its second iteration out of six. During the daily meeting, a team member asks for help. In order to finish a deliverable, an approval from the design department will be needed. What should the project manager do?
A.
Meet with the design manager to ask for the necessary approval.
B.
Invite a design team member to the next daily meeting.
C.
Update the issue log and escalate it to the project sponsor.
D.
Replace this iteration deliverable for one without any blockers.
A. Meet with the design manager to ask for the necessary approval.
This is correct, you can't ask a design colleague from a different department to join the daily just because of approval from their side. The daily is for the team
Correct answer is B.
There is no urgency background regarding this situation. Escalation is required in urgent situation and direct contact to manager is non-professional communication in PM perspective.
A is the correct answer because the B option stated " Invite a design team member to the next daily meeting", and any approval must pass through the design manager's table. Therefore, option A is the correct answer.
The project manager should **B. Invite a design team member to the next daily meeting**. This approach promotes collaboration and communication between the team and the design department. It allows the team member to directly discuss the requirements and get the necessary approval. This can also help to prevent similar issues in the future by improving understanding and coordination between the different departments involved in the project. However, the project manager should also consider the specific circumstances and dynamics of the project and the team when deciding on the best course of action.
B. Invite a design team member to the next daily meeting.
In this situation, the project manager should invite a design team member to the next daily meeting to discuss the issue and ensure that the necessary approval is obtained in a timely manner. This approach promotes communication, collaboration, and problem-solving among team members. It also helps to maintain the project's momentum and avoid delays in the project timeline.
this will add on to delays and the member may not have authority to approve..
