    PMP · Question 88 · Task 3: Support team performance

What should the project manager do FIRST?

    Answer options:

    A.

    Have a private conversation with the team member to understand their situation and workload

    B.

    Redistribute the team member's work to other team members immediately

    C.

    Hire additional resources to reduce the overall team workload

    D.

    Document the situation and continue monitoring

    Common mistakes

    Immediately redistributing work, adding resources without understanding the situation, or passively monitoring instead of actively addressing sustainability concerns.
