Meeting with the team both collectively and individually to establish clear, shared objectives is crucial for ensuring that all team members are aligned with the project’s goals and understand their responsibilities. This approach is supported by the PMP objectives which emphasize the importance of clear communication and well-defined objectives in project management. Additionally, the PMBOK Guide highlights the need for project managers to engage with their teams and stakeholders effectively to ensure that project requirements are understood and met, which is essential for maintaining quality and meeting deadlines.
