Exam PMP topic 1 question 663 discussion

the team seems overwhelmed by the number of meetings, A seems to make more sense instead of scheduling more meetings, thoughts ?

If the team is disengaged, the project manager should take steps to address the issue and improve team motivation. One way to do this is by scheduling one-to-one meetings with each team member to discuss their concerns, challenges, and goals. Additionally, scheduling team-building meetings can help improve collaboration, communication, and overall team morale. This can include virtual team-building activities or social events that allow team members to get to know each other better and build relationships outside of work.

This is B

Logic says it's likely A. However, PMI best practice is likely B. By scheduling one-to-one meetings and team-building sessions, the project manager can create opportunities for open communication, address individual concerns, foster team cohesion, and re-engage team members in the project's goals and objectives. This approach allows for personalized interaction and can help identify underlying issues contributing to the team's disengagement.

Should be B

The most appropriate approach to address disengagement in a virtual team is to schedule one-to-one meetings and team-building meetings (Option B). This helps in fostering better communication, understanding individual concerns, and building a sense of unity among team members.

Disengaged team - help them to focus on their work by reducing the meetings. Question reads other technical and follow-up calls reducing which would help!!

Actually, after reading the question more carefully, I would agree to reduce the number of meetings so the Agile team can do the work. The PM job as a Servant leader is to protect the team from distraction.

B. Schedule one-to-one meetings and team-building meetings. One-to-one meetings provide an opportunity for team members to discuss their concerns, challenges, or feedback in a more personal setting. Team-building meetings can help in fostering collaboration, trust, and rapport among team members, especially in a virtual environment where face-to-face interactions are limited. Both of these approaches can help in understanding the reasons for disengagement and in finding solutions to increase engagement and productivity.

Look at it this way. They are already disengaged with different meetings. And the solution is meeting?

They are already disengaged with the current meetings. Team buildings fosters team work and used for conflicts.

B? That's a lot of meetings hahaha It's A.

B. Schedule one-to-one meetings and team-building meetings

If the team is disangaged, team motivation should be improved.

First of all, the PM need to understand WHY the team is disengaged - scheduling 1-1 meetings wouldn't break the agile approach

A is the answer

THe only best answer is C. A = You can reduce the number of external calls, but internal calls? You need daily standups. So, removing internal calls does not sound good. B = Schedule more meetings on top of existing meetings? Not a good idea. Plus, Team Building? Team collaboration is not the issue here. C = Why would team have daily external calls? Obviously for many reasons but one of the reasons is the workload. D = Is never an option.
