CompTIA Project+ (PK0-005)Project Life Cycle PhasesMedium
A project manager is leading a team developing a new mobile game. To foster team cohesion and ensure that all team members are aware of their roles, responsibilities, and how their individual tasks contribute to the overall project, the project manager holds regular short meetings each morning. What type of meeting is the project manager conducting?
- AStakeholder Review Meeting
- BDaily Stand-up Meeting
- CProject Kickoff Meeting
- DLessons Learned Meeting
Show answer & explanationAnswer & explanation
Correct answer: B. Daily Stand-up Meeting
Daily stand-up meetings (often associated with Agile methodologies) are short, daily meetings where team members briefly share what they worked on yesterday, what they plan to work on today, and any impediments. They are designed to foster communication, identify issues quickly, and maintain team awareness and cohesion.
Why the other options are wrong
- A. A Stakeholder Review Meeting is held periodically to update stakeholders on project progress and gather feedback, not daily for team cohesion.
- C. A Project Kickoff Meeting occurs once at the beginning of the project to launch it.
- D. A Lessons Learned Meeting occurs during or at the end of the project to capture insights for future projects.
Daily Stand-up Meeting (Scrum)
A short, daily meeting in agile project management where team members synchronize activities and plan for the next 24 hours by answering three key questions.
- Typically 15 minutes or less.
- Focuses on 'What did I do yesterday?', 'What will I do today?', 'Are there any impediments?'.
- Promotes communication, transparency, and quick issue identification.
Memory trick: Daily stand-ups keep everyone standing together, informed and clear.
