    PMP · Question 77 · Task 5: Ensure team members/stakeholders are adequately trained

    A project manager identifies that several team members lack the advanced data analytics skills needed for the next project phase. External training programs are available but would require 3-4 weeks away from project work. The project timeline is tight, and the organization has limited training budget. What should the project manager do FIRST?

    Answer options:

    A.

    Assess the specific skill gaps and explore various training options including internal knowledge sharing and mentoring

    B.

    Request additional budget from the sponsor for external training programs

    C.

    Hire external consultants with advanced data analytics skills to supplement the team

    D.

    Adjust the project scope to reduce the advanced analytics requirements

    How to approach this question

    When facing skill gaps, assess specific needs and explore all training options including cost-effective internal solutions before requesting resources or changing scope.

    Full Answer
