    PMP · Question 16 · Task 13: Mentor relevant stakeholders

    A junior project coordinator on the team shows strong potential but lacks confidence in stakeholder interactions. They often defer to others during meetings and haven't developed their project management skills fully. The project manager wants to help develop this person's capabilities. What mentoring approach should the project manager take FIRST?

    Answer options:

    A.

    Assign the coordinator to lead the next stakeholder meeting to build confidence through experience

    B.

    Enroll the coordinator in formal project management training courses

    C.

    Create opportunities for the coordinator to contribute their ideas in low-risk settings and provide supportive feedback

    D.

    Pair the coordinator with a senior team member to observe and learn from their interactions

    How to approach this question

    Look for mentoring approaches that provide safe practice opportunities with supportive feedback rather than high-risk assignments or passive learning.
