QU According to the PMBOK Guide, 6th edition, page 18, a project manager should use a combination of leadership styles depending on the situation and the needs of the team. In this case, the project manager should have used a collaborative or facilitative style to engage the team members in the agile development approach, empower them to make decisions, and set clear and measurable goals. This would have helped to create a shared vision, foster trust and commitment, and improve team performance and satisfaction. By contrast, the other options (A, B, and D) are more indicative of a directive or controlling style, which could have increased the resistance and confusion of the team members, reduced their motivation and creativity, and created a blame culture. References: = PMBOK Guide, 6th edition, page 18; Agile Practice Guide, page 13.ESTION NO: 140

According to the PMBOK Guide, a risk is an uncertain event or condition that, if it occurs, has a positive or negative effect on one or more project objectives. A risk register is a document that records the identified risks, their analysis, and their response plans. A project manager should update the risk register whenever new risks are identified, analyzed, or resolved. In this case, the potential change in the legal requirements is a risk that could affect the project scope, cost, schedule, and quality. Therefore, the project manager should update the risk register to include this risk and its impact, probability, and priority. The project manager should also discuss the appropriate risk response plans with the project sponsor and the client, such as avoiding, transferring, mitigating, or accepting the risk. This way, the project manager can proactively manage the risk and prepare for any changes that might occur. References:
