PMI Agile Certified Practitioner (PMI-ACP) — Question 1

An executive sponsor of a new scrum team actively attends scrum ceremonies.
How does this benefit the team?

Answer options

• A. It helps the team to focus on and meet sprint goals
• B. It reminds the team about who sponsors the project
• C. It provides high-level project updates to the sponsor
• D. It helps to quickly resolve issues using the sponsor/s influence

Correct answer: D

Explanation

The correct answer is D because an executive sponsor can leverage their influence to address and resolve challenges that arise during the project, ensuring the team can maintain momentum. Option A, while beneficial, does not directly relate to the sponsor's influence, and options B and C do not provide immediate benefits to the team during the scrum ceremonies.
