Exam PMP topic 1 question 91 discussion

I took B at first, but look back the question after saw the answer marked D. Found that it just say the PM “ensure”, not asking for solution to handle the gap. So in the context of “ensure”, we should have a play safe approach

While maintaining confidentiality is important in certain cases, it is generally beneficial for team members to have visibility into their own performance and the performance of their peers. Sharing assessment results promotes transparency, accountability, and a culture of continuous improvement. It allows team members to understand their strengths and areas for development, learn from each other, and collaborate on improving overall team performance. Therefore, ensuring open communication and sharing of assessment results is typically more beneficial than keeping them private. The project manager should ensure that performance improvement programs are organized for all team members who were assessed. By identifying the gaps in performance, it becomes crucial to provide the necessary support and resources for team members to improve their skills and address the identified gaps

To ensure that performance gaps are addressed after conducting performance appraisals, project managers should organize performance improvement programs for all team members who have been appraised. This approach helps ensure that team members receive the support and training needed to improve their skills and performance.

d is correct

“ensure”

D is correct. B says that improvement actions are conducted to All assignees. But in question mentioned just some gaps identified. There is no need to improve all.

D. Answer B - uses the word ALL but the question uses SOME. This can't be the answer.

This approach is proactive and focused on enhancing team capabilities, aligning with the principles of continuous learning and improvement. Keeping results entirely private may miss opportunities for team-wide learning and growth (D). While performance appraisals often contain sensitive information, some results can be discussed in a transparent and constructive way to foster an atmosphere of learning among team members.

Option B is the correct answer because, after identifying gaps in performance through a performance assessment, it's essential for the project manager to take proactive steps to address these gaps and improve the performance of the team. Organizing performance improvement programs allows team members to receive targeted training, coaching, or support to help them overcome their deficiencies and enhance their skills or capabilities.

Don't know why majority are picking other options other than D. D is the only answer user your commonsense. Performance is regards to personnel, not project.

B. Performance improvement programs are organized for all team members who were assessed. When a project manager identifies performance gaps in team members, the appropriate action is to plan and organize performance improvement programs or interventions to address these gaps. This can include additional training, coaching, mentoring, or other developmental activities tailored to help team members improve their performance in areas where gaps were identified. The goal is to support team members in enhancing their skills and capabilities to meet project objectives effectively. This approach is proactive and aimed at continuous improvement within the project team.

after some reflection - D, not B
