Exam PMP topic 1 question 165 discussion

why not A

Every Organization has a process for project execution, which varies from organization to organization. So, anyone who comes on board should have the ability & skills to implement the organizations standards & Process. Correct Option is therefore D. Even if the person has strong interpersonal skills & virtual team management abilities but lacks the essential skill set to manage it within the organizations project governance framework, then hiring him is futile exercise. Ideally any potential candidate should have both, but having Option D skills comes first, So that rules out option A

In general, "Interpersonal skills" are one of the mandatory qualities for a project manager. I don't think they are the specific requirement in this scenario. Rather than that, the competency to establish the standards and processes would be more beneficial to the project.

I don't understand why the answer is D?? even GPT says correct answer is A.

From PMBOK Guide, 6th Ed., 3.4.4 LEADERSHIP SKILLS Leadership skills involve the ability to guide, motivate, and direct a team. These skills may include demonstrating essential capabilities such as negotiation, resilience, communication, problem solving, critical thinking, and interpersonal skills. Projects are becoming increasingly complicated, with more and more businesses executing their strategies through projects. Project management is more than just working with numbers, templates, charts, graphs, and computing systems. A common denominator in all projects is people. People can be counted, but they are not numbers.

Obvious A, ChatGPT also chooses A.

The question states WHICH SKILL. D is not a skill.

A is correct

Possesses strong interpersonal skills to drive high-performing virtual teams

A. Possesses strong interpersonal skills to drive high-performing virtual teams

A. Possesses strong interpersonal skills to drive high-performing virtual teams

should be A as it comes to manage team

A. Possesses strong interpersonal skills to drive high-performing virtual teams

A. Possesses strong interpersonal skills to drive high-performing virtual teams. Managing a virtual team with members located in different countries requires a project manager to have strong interpersonal skills to build and maintain effective communication, collaboration, and trust among team members. Virtual teams face unique challenges such as language barriers, time zone differences, cultural differences, and limited face-to-face interactions. Therefore, a project manager who can effectively communicate, resolve conflicts, motivate team members, and build relationships across cultures and geographies is crucial for the success of the team and the project.

IT is A

I choose A

I will choose A. The question is specific to skills for managing this team not the entire project.
