PMI Agile Certified Practitioner (PMI-ACP) — Question 107

Prior to a retrospective, discussions among team members indicate conflict. An agile practitioner wants to ensure an open and safe environment during the retrospective.
What should the agile practitioner do?

Answer options

• A. Review established ground rules with the team
• B. Ask team members specific questions to identify the cause
• C. Encourage the team to continue working to maintain the iteration's schedule
• D. Meet with the product owner and stakeholders to discuss the issue

Correct answer: A

Explanation

The correct answer is A because reviewing ground rules helps establish a foundation for respectful and constructive dialogue, creating a safe space for team members. Options B, C, and D do not directly address the need for a supportive environment and may exacerbate existing conflicts or distract from the retrospective's purpose.
