Project Management Professional Practice Question

As the project manager for a complex product redesign, you notice that Alex, a relatively new engineer on the cross-functional team, frequently defers critical design decisions to more-senior colleagues even though he owns the work package. Stakeholders value his technical insight, but his hesitation is slowing the team's cadence during iteration planning. To build Alex's confidence and long-term contribution, you decide to enter into a mentoring relationship with him. According to PMI best practices for mentoring, what should you do first to make sure the mentoring is purposeful and addresses Alex's specific development needs?

  • Start by scheduling regular weekly mentoring meetings.

  • Immediately start answering any questions Alex has to help boost his confidence.

  • Discuss Alex's professional goals and expectations to tailor the mentoring process.

  • Provide Alex with a list of books and articles on improving decision-making skills.
