    PMP · Question 95 · Task 13: Mentor relevant stakeholders

    A project manager is leading a team where one member consistently produces excellent work but frequently misses deadlines due to perfectionist tendencies. This is affecting project schedules and other team members who depend on this person's deliverables. What should the project manager do?

    Answer options:

    A.

    Work with the team member to establish clear quality criteria and help them understand when work is 'good enough' to meet project needs

    B.

    Assign shorter deadlines to force the team member to complete work more quickly

    C.

    Pair the team member with someone who can help them manage time better

    D.

    Accept the delays since the work quality is excellent

    How to approach this question

    When perfectionist tendencies cause deadline issues, help the individual understand appropriate quality criteria and when work meets project needs.

    Full Answer

    A.Work with the team member to establish clear quality criteria and help them understand when work is 'good enough' to meet project needs✓ Correct
    A
    Perfectionist tendencies require coaching about appropriate quality levels and when work meets project needs, rather than time management or process changes.

    Common mistakes

    Treating this as a time management issue rather than addressing the perfectionist mindset that drives the behavior.
