Read the text and answer the question below.
After talking to James, Maria has come up with a list of important points so that she could discuss them with Bob in an upcoming meeting. This is the list:
Meeting Notes: Talk with James
Key Points:
Project Deadline: The team is already working extra hours, and the new deadline is adding more stress.
Burnout Risk: More pressure could lead to burnout. We should rethink task priorities to ease the workload.
Resource Shortage: The team is missing key roles, making it harder to manage tasks efficiently.
Communication Issues: Late updates are causing problems. More regular check-ins could help.
Team Morale: Constant pressure is affecting motivation. We need ways to support the team.
Suggested Actions:
Ask Bob again about getting extra support.
Adjust task priorities to reduce stress.
Set up more frequent check-ins for better communication.
Find ways to keep morale up despite the tight deadline.
According to Maria's notes, why is the team concerned about the new project deadline?
They feel unmotivated and don't want to work.
The text mentions that motivation is affected, but this is not the main concern.
They are already working extra hours, and the new deadline increases stress.
They don't like the project and want to stop working on it.
The text does not mention that the team dislikes the project.
They don't know what tasks to work on.
The team knows their tasks, even though sometimes, they are informed of changes a little late.
