    PMP · Question 58 · Task 1: Plan and manage project compliance

    A project manager discovers that a team member has been sharing confidential project information with colleagues outside the project team. The information sharing appears to be inadvertent rather than malicious, but it violates project confidentiality agreements. What should the project manager do FIRST?

    Answer options:

    A.

    Have a private conversation with the team member to understand the situation and reinforce confidentiality requirements

    B.

    Report the confidentiality breach to senior management immediately

    C.

    Remind the entire team about confidentiality requirements without singling out the individual

    D.

    Document the incident and monitor the team member's future behavior

    How to approach this question

    For inadvertent policy violations, direct conversation to understand the situation and reinforce requirements is typically the appropriate first step.

    Full Answer

    A.Have a private conversation with the team member to understand the situation and reinforce confidentiality requirements✓ Correct
    Direct conversation allows the project manager to understand whether the breach was truly inadvertent and ensures the team member understands confidentiality requirements.

    Common mistakes

    Either immediately escalating inadvertent violations or avoiding direct conversation, both of which may not effectively address the issue.
