Exam PMP topic 1 question 203 discussion

B is a much better answer. Chances are, the PMO would already have onboarding procedures (if it exists, the question usually has to mention the PMO's existence) And onboarding procedures don't always include familiarity with what you're doing (think orientation vs the actual job duties). In that case, you'd basically be explaining to the PMO that they need to have you explain to them to explain to the new product owner, that seems convoluted, so its better if you bring him onboard yourself. In general, you want to handle things through meetings and at the lowest possible levels, by escalating it to a PMO and basically saying "This guy doesn't know enough about what he's doing", you could also be setting yourself up for future conflict with that person, and others may also misinterpret it as incompetence.

According to ChatGPT The correct answer in this situation would be: B. Schedule time to share insights with the new product owner about the product and project information. While the other options may be helpful in certain circumstances, scheduling time to share insights with the new product owner is the most immediate and effective step to address the issue at hand. By providing the new product owner with detailed information about the product and project, the project manager can help bridge the knowledge gap and enable the product owner to contribute more effectively to the team's decision-making process.

A doesn't make sense. Why would a PM work with PMO to generate an onboarding plan for the new PO when the PO is already hired?

A. Work with the project management office (PMO) manager to generate an onboarding plan for the new product owner. This option focuses on creating a structured approach to support the new product owner's integration into the project team. By collaborating with the PMO manager to develop an onboarding plan, the project manager can ensure that the new product owner receives the necessary support, resources, and information to become effective in their role. This approach helps address the knowledge gap and facilitates the new product owner's contributions to the project.

ChatGPT also chooses B.

Why A?

ew employee onboarding is the process of integrating a new employee with a company and its culture, as well as getting a new hire the tools and information needed to become a productive member of the team.

i am with option B

B is correct

ensuring that the new product owner receives proper training and onboarding is a vital step, and this responsibility often falls on the project manager's shoulders. Therefore, option A is a valid approach to address the issue. note- Chat gpt can be used to check answer but should not be blindly followed.

The PO has already onboarded and has been working with team. That's why the issue happened. So, why A? why not B?

Sure I think both A, B are correct but It's better if we can schedule time to meet with new PM first then have a plan to transfer later

B. Arrange a meeting with the contract department to build trust and commitment by recognizing their critical support to the project

B. Schedule time to share insights with the new product owner about the product and project information. Most Voted

The project manager should choose option B: Schedule time to share insights with the new product owner about the product and project information. When a new product owner joins a project, it is essential to bring them up to speed on the product and project information. The project manager should work with the team to schedule time for knowledge transfer sessions with the new product owner. During these sessions, the team can share their insights about the product, project status, and the current state of the team's work. It's important to ensure that the new product owner feels comfortable asking questions during these sessions. Encouraging the product owner to ask questions can help them gain confidence and begin to form their own opinions about the product.

I think B is better

Would go with B.
