Why is it important to clearly define and communicate team roles and responsibilities at the start of a project?

To satisfy regulatory requirements

To prevent confusion and overlapping work

To reduce the need for communication

During a project kickoff, two team members are confused about who is responsible for finalizing the project's technical design document. The business analyst believes it is the lead developer's job, while the lead developer thinks the architect should do it. This confusion has already caused a one-week delay. What should the project manager do to resolve this?

Create a RACI chart and communicate it to the team.

Schedule a meeting with the two team members to discuss their workload.

Let the team members decide among themselves who will do the work.

Assign the task to the business analyst since they raised the concern.

A project team is split into two factions: one wants to use a new cloud-based tool for collaboration, and the other prefers the existing on-premises tool. The disagreement has become personal, and team members are now refusing to speak to each other. The project is at risk of missing a major milestone. What is the BEST first step for the project manager?

Ignore the conflict and hope the team resolves it on their own.

Remove the most vocal member from each faction from the team.

Make the decision for the team and mandate the use of the cloud-based tool.

Hold a facilitated meeting to discuss the pros and cons of each tool and find a compromise.

What is the primary goal of conflict resolution in a project team?

To remove the conflicting team members

To avoid all future disagreements

To improve team dynamics and productivity
