Eight highly qualified experts have been assembled to work for a 6-month period on an a specific aspect of an organization's product development process. How should the
project manager support this team to succeed?
A.
Hand over control of specific aspects of their roles as experts and let them agree on their own timelines and targets.
B.
Bring in a senior colleague who is also an expert to ensure the team is on track to achieve the goals and objectives.
C.
Define roles and targets for all team members and regularly follow up with one-to-one meetings to review progress.
D.
Work with the team members to define the overall objective and support them to engage around the goal.
This option is most aligned with the principles of project management as outlined in the PMBOK® Guide, which emphasizes the importance of collaborative planning and goal setting. Engaging the team in defining the overall objective ensures that all members are on the same page and committed to the project’s success. This approach leverages the expertise of the team members and fosters a sense of ownership and accountability.
