PMI PMP Project Management

Answer: d - Project management should be based more on solid actions that contribute to the direction of a project. Getting subjective status updates from project team members on a regular basis is not an effective use of time. Maintaining issue logs, creating forecasts and holding regular inspections are actionable tasks that contribute to the success of a project.

Key Take Away: Ineffective meetings are the biggest time zappers for most projects. Unless you make your meetings an effective use of their time, you will not get the attendance you seek. It’s better to discuss project tasks and dive deep with resources in meetings - that’s the best way to find out whether anything is getting done anyhow.
