Project Management Professional Practice Question
As a project manager, you notice that a team member is consistently failing to complete their assigned tasks on time, causing delays in the project schedule. What is the most effective approach to address this situation and support team task accountability?
Escalate the issue to higher management and request that they intervene and address the team member's poor performance
Schedule a one-on-one meeting with the team member to discuss the issue, identify the root cause, and collaboratively develop a plan to improve their performance
Reassign the team member's tasks to other team members who have a track record of completing tasks on time
Wait for the team member to improve their performance on their own, as they may be going through a temporary challenge
