Examples of team building activities include:

Scenario:

One of the items which the project manager was asked to include in his project plan was a WBS. He was told to begin by assigning cost estimates for each of the lowest level elements of the WBS  and then aggregating the individual estimates.

This method is considered -

Reviewing work products and results to ensure that all were  completed satisfactorily and formally accepted is part of:

You've been engaged to manage a project. The estimated cost of the project is $1,000,000. The project sponsor has approved this amount. Your earned value calculations indicate that the project will be completed on time and under budget by $200,000. Based on this calculation, your personal profit will decrease by $2,000.

Given the estimated decrease in personal profit, what action should you take?

Scenario:

A project manager loads tasks, effort estimates, assignments, and task dependencies into project planning software. The resulting plan has many tasks starting on Day 1 of the project that are assigned to Susan Jones. These tasks have no functional dependencies (i.e., they are not required to be completed in any particular order.) The plan shows that Susan will be working 15 hours per day

What should the project manager do first in responding to the above scenario?

Scenario:

Sam is a project manager and has observed during team meetings that one of the senior technical team members, Sue, frequently belittles the ideas of Tom, a more junior technical staff member.
