Does anyone else utilize the PMchallenge questions? I’ve been doing some every day, and came across one today that genuinely surprised me. The question is:
For a critical project, a new team has been formed from various departments. The project manager should start team building by…
a) taking the team offsite for icebreaker sessions and other activities to ensure team members get to know one each other.
b) assembling the team and discussing roles and responsibilities of each member on the team.
c) creating a project charter, documenting roles and responsibilities of each member, and sending it to the team members.
d) assembling the team and asking the members to achieve a milestone in a small iteration.
I answered b), but the answer actually came up as d), and it seems kind of out of left field. Does anyone have an example of what this “small iteration” might look like in this scenario and what the rationale is behind this question? Let me know (and let me know if you also enjoy the PMchallenge questions :o) ) Saving Changes...
