A project is comprised of team members who are not engaged and committed to project success. What should the project manager do to address this situation?
A.
Accept the situation knowing there is schedule slack available to release on an incremental basis when necessary.
B.
Call each team member to gain their perspective on the problem, then bring the whole team together to discuss a solution.
C.
Send each team member a direct email indicating that disciplinary action is likely if they do not change their attitude.
D.
Contact the project sponsor to request approval to release the current team and hire replacement personnel.
Engaging with team members individually to understand their perspectives is a crucial step in addressing issues of disengagement and lack of commitment. This approach allows the project manager to identify any underlying problems and work collaboratively with the team to find solutions. It is consistent with the PMBOK® Guide’s emphasis on leadership and team management, which includes promoting team engagement and managing conflict. Bringing the team together to discuss solutions promotes a collaborative environment and ensures that all voices are heard, fostering a sense of ownership and commitment to the project’s success.
