Routines are indeed foundational to success, especially within the context of project management. The PMBOK Guide emphasizes the importance of processes and routines in achieving project objectives and delivering value. Routines help establish consistency and efficiency, which are critical for the successful delivery of project outcomes. They enable teams to perform regular tasks with increased effectiveness, ensuring that project goals are met within the constraints of time, cost, and scope.

Question 65
Why are teams such a popular way of getting things done?
Teams are a popular way of accomplishing tasks because they allow for a combination of diverse skills, perspectives, and efforts that can lead to more innovative and effective solutions. When individuals work together as a team, they can complement each other’s strengths and weaknesses, share ideas and brainstorm to overcome challenges, and achieve more with fewer resources through collaboration and shared responsibility.

Question 66
Which of the following characteristics are associated with team Storming?
Options:
A.
Team members are eager to get going
B.
Conflict arises because of differences in how to accomplish goals
During the Storming stage of team development, team members start to push against the boundaries established during the Forming stage. This is where conflicts can arise due to differences in opinions on how goals should be accomplished. Personalities may clash as team members work through their differences and learn to work together effectively. It’s a critical phase where teams often deal with struggles for power and leadership, as well as disagreements about strategies and processes123. References: The characteristics of the Storming stage are well-documented in project management literature, including Tuckman’s model of group development and materials related to Professional in Project Management (PPM)123.
