During a team meeting at Firefly Data, Rohan Brandt notices that two developers are having a heated disagreement about a technical approach. Rather than imposing a solution, Rohan asks questions to help the developers explore options and reach consensus. Which project manager role is Rohan demonstrating?
Show answer & explanation

Correct answer: Facilitator

Explanation

Rohan is acting as a facilitator by helping the team members work through their disagreement, asking questions, and guiding them toward consensus without imposing his own solution. Facilitation involves enabling collaboration and decision-making among team members.

**Why not A:** A working member actively performs technical tasks and produces deliverables alongside the team. Rohan is not doing technical work himself — he is guiding the discussion process to help team members resolve their disagreement and reach consensus.

**Why not C:** A negotiator works to reach agreements involving competing interests, resource allocation, or contract terms. While the developers are disagreeing, Rohan is helping them explore options and reach consensus through guided discussion, not negotiating a compromise between competing demands.

**Why not D:** An initiator starts new ideas, projects, or proposals. Rohan is not introducing something new — he is helping the team work through an existing disagreement by asking questions and guiding the conversation toward resolution.
