    PMP · Question 52 · Task 6: Build a team

    A project manager is leading a team that includes both permanent employees and contractors. The contractors have specialized skills that are critical to the project, but they work for different companies and have varying contract terms. Some contractors can only work part-time, while others have different holiday schedules. Which TWO approaches should the project manager use to build team cohesion?

    Answer options:

    A.

    Establish common team goals and success criteria that apply to all team members regardless of employment status

    B.

    Create separate communication channels for employees and contractors

    C.

    Schedule all team activities during times when permanent employees are available

    D.

    Develop flexible communication and collaboration practices that accommodate different schedules and availability

    E.

    Assign contractors to work independently to avoid scheduling conflicts

    F.

    Require all team members to adopt the same working schedule and availability

    How to approach this question

    Look for approaches that create unity through shared goals while accommodating the practical differences in working arrangements and availability.

    Full Answer

    Mixed employment teams need both unifying elements (shared goals) and flexible practices that accommodate different working arrangements. This creates cohesion while respecting practical constraints.

    Common mistakes

    Creating separate channels, forcing uniform schedules, or isolating contractors instead of building inclusive team practices.
