PMI PMP Question Answer

A project manager is leading a project team that consists of five team members. One of the team members, a senior technical staff member, always criticizes the ideas of other members during team meetings. However, this senior technical member is not performing well on their own daily tasks. Other team members are frustrated and have become silent in meetings.

What should the project manager do?

Reduce the team meeting frequency and seek input separately from team members.

Ask human resources (HR) to reassign the senior technical staff member.

Encourage other team members to provide one another with their valuable ideas.

Provide feedback to bring the team members' focus back to the performance of their daily tasks.
