A project team is working remotely on a project with tight deadlines. In the middle of the project, a team member is replaced with an individual who is new to the company. The document repository is available to review, but since the project is quite complex it could take time to understand the details related to the new team member's responsibilities.

What should the project manager do?

  • A. Assign tasks and provide contacts so the new team member can contact the appropriate resources for support.
  • B. Ask the new team member to review the repository and schedule a meeting to provide details and tasks.
  • C. Organize a social event to introduce the new team member to key stakeholders and the project team.
  • D. Introduce the new team member to the project team and provide an explanation of the key themes.

Selected Answer: A
Assign tasks and provide contacts so the new team member can contact the appropriate resources for support. Rationale: Time sensitivity: The project is under tight deadlines, so the new team member needs to ramp up quickly. Support structure: Providing direct contacts enables fast clarification and knowledge transfer from experienced team members. Empowerment: Assigning tasks shows trust and helps the new member begin contributing, while access to support ensures they're not left to struggle alone.

Selected Answer: A
The correct answer is A. Assign tasks and provide contacts so the new team member can contact the appropriate resources for support. Explanation: In a remote work environment with tight deadlines, it's important to quickly integrate a new team member without causing delays. The project manager should ensure that the new team member has clear guidance and is given tasks they can begin working on immediately. Providing contacts for support helps the new member reach out to the right resources if they need additional information or clarification. This approach allows the new team member to start contributing while still being supported by the rest of the team. In a complex project, having access to key people for quick questions can prevent delays in their learning process.

Selected Answer: D
D is best. Encouraging new team members to join the project, the project manager must introduce new members to the team and provide them with an understanding of the key topics and tasks of the project. We will ensure that new members understand the scope of the project and can participate selectively. Collaborate with your team to improve communication and move projects forward. The remaining options can be useful, but introducing and explaining new members to the project team is the most important.

Selected Answer: D
D is the answer. To ensure a seamless onboarding experience for the new team member, the initial focus should be on Option D: introducing them to the project team and providing an explanation of the key themes. This approach is crucial as it offers the new member immediate insight into the project's context and overarching goals.
