PMP Practice Question: People — Predictive, Medium
You are managing an infrastructure upgrade project with a clearly defined scope, schedule, and budget. During a performance review meeting, you notice that one team member consistently delivers high-quality work but often misses deadlines by 2-3 days, causing minor delays in dependent activities. When you discuss this with the team member, they explain that they are perfecting every detail because they take pride in their work and want to avoid any defects. The project baseline schedule has limited float, and these delays are beginning to consume schedule reserves. How should you address this situation?
