Exam PMP topic 1 question 779 discussion

After several iteration after new team members joined the performance dropped. So allow team to self organize themselves.

First I need to understand why the performance decreased. Did the two team members some wrong? Do they don't have the skills? I can not perform a coaching session with the whole team, when I don't understand why this happened.

When there is a decrease in team performance, especially after the addition of new team members, it's essential to address the issue collaboratively. Providing a coaching session can help the team understand and adapt to the changes. The session can focus on team dynamics, communication, roles, and expectations. It also provides an opportunity to identify any challenges the new team members may be facing and find solutions to improve overall team performance. Coaching fosters open communication, collaboration, and a shared understanding among team members.

Holistic approach: A coaching session allows the project manager to look beyond the new members and consider the potential for other factors influencing the team's performance. Factors like communication gaps, unclear roles and responsibilities, or integration challenges could be the underlying cause. Collaborative problem-solving: The session creates a safe space for open communication and feedback, allowing the entire team to identify issues, share perspectives, and brainstorm solutions together. This fosters ownership and collaboration rather than pointing fingers. Targeted support: Based on the team's input, the project manager can offer targeted coaching and support, whether it's addressing specific communication barriers, clarifying expectations, or providing additional training and guidance for the new members.
