Project managers play a pivotal role in fostering relationships within the team and across stakeholders to facilitate goal achievement. Building and maintaining relationships are essential for effective communication, collaboration, and alignment with organizational objectives, ultimately contributing to project success.
A page 55. "
The project manager also Works with the project sponsor to address internal political and strategic issues that may impact the team or the viability Or quality of the project"
A. Works with the sponsor to address internal political and strategic issues that may impact the team. This statement describes a function or responsibility of a project manager that involves communicating with stakeholders and managing risks.
I asked GPT today and it's saying A:
The correct answer is A. Works with the sponsor to address internal political and strategic issues that may impact the team.
A project manager is responsible for overseeing and managing a project from initiation to completion. This includes various functions and responsibilities, such as communication, coordination, risk management, and stakeholder engagement. One of the critical tasks a project manager is expected to perform is to work closely with the project sponsor to address any internal political dynamics or strategic issues that might influence the project's progress or the team's ability to achieve its goals.
While the other statements might also reflect certain aspects of a project manager's responsibilities, option A specifically addresses the involvement of a project manager in addressing internal political and strategic issues with the project sponsor.
From 3.2
3.2 DEFINITION OF A PROJECT MANAGER
The role of a project manager is distinct from that of a functional manager or operations manager. Typically, the
functional manager focuses on providing management oversight for a functional or business unit. Operations managers
are responsible for ensuring that business operations are efficient. The project manager is the person assigned by the
performing organization to lead the team that is responsible for achieving the project objectives.
It's clearly not C or D, but A and B are pretty bad too.
B is wrong. The project manager seeks ways to develop relationships that assist the team in achieving the goals and objectives of the project. Not the goals and objectives of the organization.
3.3.3 THE ORGANIZATION
Interacting with other project managers helps to create a positive influence for fulfilling the various needs of the
project. These needs may be in the form of human, technical, or financial resources and deliverables required by the
team for project completion. The project manager seeks ways to develop relationships that assist the team in achieving
the goals and objectives of the project.
PMBOK pg. 55: PjM also works with project sponsor to address internal political and strategic issues that may impact team. Not B - projects are a means of achieving organizational goals and objectives (pg. 17). Not C - Operational Manager. Not D - Functional Manager.
