PMP · Question 82 · Task 6: Build a team

A project manager is leading a team that includes both permanent employees and contractors from different companies. The contractors have varying contract terms, different holiday schedules, and some work part-time. Team cohesion is suffering because of these differences in working arrangements and availability. Which TWO strategies should the project manager implement to build team unity?

Answer options:

A.

Establish shared team goals and success metrics that apply to all members regardless of employment status

B.

Create separate communication channels for employees and contractors

C.

Develop flexible meeting and collaboration practices that accommodate different schedules

D.

Require all team members to adopt the same working schedule

E.

Assign contractors to work independently to avoid scheduling conflicts

F.

Focus team building activities only on permanent employees

How to approach this question

Look for strategies that create unity through shared purpose 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 and contract terms.

Common mistakes

Creating separate channels, forcing uniform schedules, or excluding contractors instead of building inclusive team practices that accommodate differences.
