In the PMP Exam Mindset, "Removing Impediments" is the ultimate expression of Servant Leadership. Your job is to act as a "shield" for the team, clearing the path so they can focus on delivering value without distraction. 

Definitions to Know (The "Nuance")While the exam often uses these interchangeably, understanding the slight differences helps you prioritize: 

  • Impediments: Anything that slows down the team (e.g., a slow server or unnecessary meetings).
  • Obstacles: Barriers that can be avoided or moved with effort (e.g., a missing stakeholder approval).
  • Blockers: Specific issues that cause a total stop on a task or story (e.g., a critical software bug).
