Exam PMP topic 1 question 1117 discussion

Assessing team skills against requirements aligns with the Acquire Resources process (6th Edition, Section 9.2) and the Team Performance Domain (7th Edition, Section 3.4). For a digital transformation, ensuring the team can handle technical demands (e.g., cloud migration) is vital. This proactive step identifies gaps before work begins, supporting agile readiness (7th Edition, Section 2.7) and effective kick-off discussions. D. Review the project’s environment to understand the organizational culture. Reviewing the environment aligns with Enterprise Environmental Factors (6th Edition, Section 2.2) and the Systems Thinking Principle (7th Edition, Section 2.2), crucial for a new CEO’s transformation vision. Understanding culture (e.g., resistance to change) informs strategy, but it’s less immediate than ensuring team capability for a kick-off, delaying actionable preparation (7th Edition, Section 3.5).

D. Review the project's environment to understand the organizational culture

Before the project kick-off meeting, the project manager should review the project's environment to understand the organizational culture. This involves getting familiar with the context, values, and principles of the organization. Understanding the organizational culture is crucial for effective communication, collaboration, and decision-making throughout the project.
