A project manager finds that there are knowledge gaps in the project team relating to the core competencies required to deliver the desired results. What should the project manager do to achieve the desired results?
A.
Communicate the situation to the team and plan for the necessary training and coaching arrangements
B.
Report the situation back to upper management and request to have the scope changed
C.
Plan to hire more experienced team members and lay off a few of the existing team members.
D.
Communicate the situation to the customer and inform them about potential delays in delivery.
The project manager is responsible for ensuring that the project team has the necessary skills and competencies to perform the project work. If there are knowledge gaps in the team, the project manager should communicate the situation to the team and plan for the appropriate training and coaching arrangements to address them. This will help the team to improve their performance and achieve the desired results. The other options are not appropriate because they do not address the root cause of the problem and may have negative consequences for the project. Reporting the situation to upper management and requesting a scope change may not be feasible or acceptable. Hiring new team members and laying off existing ones may disrupt the team dynamics and morale. Communicating the situation to the customer and informing them about potential delays may damage the trust and relationship with the customer. References:
