    PMP · Question 75 · Task 3: Support team performance

    A project manager observes that a previously high-performing team member has been missing deadlines, producing lower quality work, and seems disengaged during team meetings. Other team members have started expressing concerns about the impact on project deliverables. The team member has been with the organization for several years and has always been reliable. What should the project manager do FIRST?

    Answer options:

    A.

    Document the performance issues and begin formal performance improvement procedures

    B.

    Have a private, supportive conversation with the team member to understand what might be affecting their performance

    C.

    Redistribute the team member's critical tasks to other team members to protect project deliverables

    D.

    Provide additional training and resources to help improve the team member's performance

    How to approach this question

    When previously high performers show sudden performance changes, use supportive approaches to understand underlying causes before taking corrective or formal actions.

    B
    Sudden performance changes in previously high performers often indicate underlying issues that can be addressed. Supportive conversation demonstrates servant leadership and may reveal solutions.

    Common mistakes

    Students often choose formal procedures (A) or task redistribution (C), missing the opportunity to understand and address underlying causes through supportive leadership.
