In a project, one core team member tends to do all the work and ensures all tasks are completed. This core team member is soon leaving the project, which may make the project vulnerable.
What should the project manager do?
A.
Ensure the activities of this team member are distributed across the project team.
B.
Assess a mechanism for knowledge transfer among the team members.
C.
Ask human resources (HR) to counsel the team member to balance the workload.
D.
Motivate the team member to stay by providing them with incentives.
B. Assess a mechanism for knowledge transfer among the team members.
This approach addresses the potential vulnerability of the project by ensuring that the knowledge and skills of the core team member are shared with others before they leave. Knowledge transfer is crucial in maintaining project continuity and preventing disruptions due to the departure of key personnel.

While option A (distributing tasks) is important, it doesn’t ensure that the knowledge required to complete those tasks effectively is shared. Option C (involving HR) and option D (motivating the team member to stay) might be more about managing the individual than addressing the broader project needs.
