Exam PMP topic 1 question 4 discussion

collaboration before escalation

In my opinion D is the correct answer.it is important manager to reach out to the designer to come up with a solution for on how to complete the additional feature, this way they are able to complete both features in time for implementation as opposed to giving up one for the other as both are equally vital. hence, collaboration before escalation

Collaborate Before Escalation This principle applies first when it can be resolved within the team! Since the issue is from another department, bypassing the design team manager and talking directly to the designer is an informal approach. Because in PMP, collaboration between stakeholders and following formal channels is important.

As Designer is managed by FM, maybe he is working on priority list set by FM. Sequence of solving this problem: C-->D or C-->A--D B is wrong option

By addressing the blocker swiftly and proactively managing the timeline, the project manager can help the team recover from the delay and stay on track to meet the critical release deadline.

Meeting and discussing face to face is always a good option to resolve most of the issues.

It is obviously a functional organizational structure, so PM has less or not much control over the team member. Talk to the designer team manager is the way to resolve the resources issue.

PM needs to have the direct communication with the team to ensure timely delivery

you need solutions and to better understand how to move forward before taking action

D. communication is key. direct communication with the person responsible for the delay. assess the situation and move forward. C is also a good choice but you are avoiding handling the issue directly. This can also cause a delay in communication. communication is key.

In this scenario, the project manager should choose: C. Contact the design team manager and ask to reconsider the priority list based on the latest situation. Reasoning: Collaboration: Engaging with the design team manager fosters collaboration and ensures that both teams are aligned on priorities. Resource Allocation: By asking to reconsider the priority list, the project manager can identify critical tasks that need immediate attention, allowing the team to adapt quickly to the new urgency. Addressing Roadblocks: This approach directly addresses the roadblock affecting the project timeline and seeks to find a solution that can keep the project on track. While meeting with the designer (option D) is also a viable approach, it may not effectively resolve the larger issue of prioritization and resource allocation at the team level.

correct is D as is directly talking about action and solution c is kind of PM shying away from responsibility and also the process will cause more delay

D The project manager should immediately address the dependency issue by discussing it with the designer to understand the delay and explore potential solutions, such as reallocating resources or adjusting priorities. They should also communicate the urgency of the situation to relevant stakeholders and consider alternative approaches to ensure the timely completion of the feature and meet the release date. Adigun.

Correct answer is D.To collaborate with assigned designer and to work on solution

Standup meetings is a feature for agile projects which we know as flexible. I will go with D because there is possibility that the designer has solutions to most of the challenges...

definitely C

C. I don't think it's pm's job to develop a solution.
