PMP Question 5

The project you’re managing involves collaboration between teams from two different companies with distinct corporate cultures. To unify the teams, you recognize the need to establish common team norms.

What approach do you take to establish effective team norms for this collaborative project?

A) Drafting a set of norms based on your company’s culture and enforcing them across the combined team to maintain consistency.

B) Holding a joint workshop where team members from both companies can contribute to the creation of shared norms, ensuring buy-in from all participants.

C) Allowing each company to follow its own set of norms to avoid conflict, relying on project milestones to keep the teams aligned.

D) Deciding that establishing team norms is too time-consuming and unnecessary, focusing instead on individual accountability for project deliverables.

When two distinct corporate cultures come together for a project, the potential for innovation is boundless. Yet, this fusion can also present challenges in alignment and collaboration. By engaging both teams in the creation of shared norms, we’re not just building a set of rules; we’re crafting a new, shared culture that honors the diversity of our combined team. This collaborative approach ensures buy-in from all members, creating a foundation of mutual respect and shared commitment. As we navigate this journey together, these norms become our compass, guiding us toward a successful collaboration that leverages the strengths of both companies.

Correct Answer: B

Reason: This inclusive approach ensures that norms reflect the combined team’s values and working styles, fostering unity and collaboration.

Incorrect Answers:

A) Imposing one company’s norms can create resistance and diminish the value of collaboration.

C) Allowing each company to follow its norms can lead to confusion and inefficiencies.

D) Neglecting to establish team norms overlooks the opportunity to create a cohesive team culture, potentially leading to misunderstandings and conflict.
