    PMP · Question 85 · Task 13: Mentor relevant stakeholders

    A project manager has identified a junior business analyst with strong analytical skills and good project management potential. The analyst has expressed interest in developing project management capabilities but lacks confidence in stakeholder presentations and has limited experience with project planning methodologies. What mentoring approach should the project manager take FIRST?

    Answer options:

    A.

    Assign the analyst to lead a small project to build hands-on experience

    B.

    Enroll the analyst in formal project management certification training

    C.

    Create opportunities for the analyst to observe and gradually participate in project management activities with supportive feedback

    D.

    Pair the analyst with a senior project manager from another team for external mentoring

    How to approach this question

    Effective mentoring provides gradual skill building opportunities with supportive feedback rather than immediate high-responsibility assignments or external training alone.

    Full Answer

    C.Create opportunities for the analyst to observe and gradually participate in project management activities with supportive feedback✓ Correct
    Effective mentoring involves creating progressive learning opportunities where mentees can observe, participate gradually, and receive supportive feedback to build both skills and confidence.

    Common mistakes

    Students often choose immediate project leadership (A) or external training (B), missing the value of gradual skill building with direct mentoring support.
