Actual exam question for PMI's PgMP exam
Question #: 80
Topic #: 6
[All PgMP Questions]

Several issues are identified on one component project in a program. During a meeting with that component's project manager, the program manager offers several suggested resolutions. Two weeks later, they meet again to review progress. The project manager had reviewed the issues and suggested resolutions, but delayed a decision. This two-week delay in taking action caused delays in the project schedule.

What should the program manager do?

Option E: The program manager should just show up at the next meeting with a large 'Hurry Up' sign and a whistle. That should get the project manager moving!

D is the way to go, in my opinion. The program manager needs to take a more active role and work closely with the project manager to get things back on track. They should probably also consider a career change for the project manager - maybe a job as a professional procrastinator?

I'm torn between C and D. The program manager could try coaching the project manager, but they may need to get more involved if the delays persist. Maybe they should develop a backup plan just in case.

C seems like the best option here. The project manager should be given the opportunity to take action, but the program manager needs to follow up and hold them accountable. Delaying decisions can have serious consequences.

This is a tricky one. The program manager needs to strike a balance between micromanaging and ensuring timely decisions. I'd go with option C - emphasize the need to address the issues without being too heavy-handed.

But maybe they should also develop an immediate corrective action plan with the project manager.
