The project is slightly behind schedule. Things would be worse, except for the fact that the project manager makes daily follow-up calls to each of the team leaders to remind them of his expectations and to receive updates on their progress. Without this level of involvement, deadlines were missed and the project manager believed the project success was in jeopardy. Having to constantly push the team to perform is an example of a lack of:___________
A. Management support
B. Project continuity
C. Team buy-in
D. Team accord

Answer:

C. Team buy-in

Explanation:

It is correct to say that the attitude of constantly pushing the team to carry out the project is influenced by the team's lack of commitment.

This occurs when there are a number of problems in the project team, which can be caused by personal conflicts between the project members, lack of communication, lack of integration and difficulty in understanding the project objective.

The attitude of the project manager corresponds to a management support, which guarantees the continuity of the project through an effective management that coordinates and controls the project and prevents problems from becoming bigger and impacts on the realization of the project.
