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.
What was proposed to help reduce stress and improve communication?
The team should take longer breaks and reduce their working hours.
The text does not mention reducing working hours or taking longer breaks as a solution.
The team should prioritize tasks differently and have more regular check-ins.
The team should request a deadline extension and stop working extra hours.
A deadline extension was not mentioned as an option. The focus was on managing workload efficiently.
The team should avoid meetings and rely only on written updates.
This contradicts the suggested solution.
