PMI Agile Certified Practitioner (PMI-ACP) — Question 135

During a Kanban team's daily stand-up, an agile coach observes that the team seems disinterested in the work status. While it appears that there are no issues with flow, there is a marked lack of attention to ream effort. When the agile coach queries the team for reasons, members explain that work continues to be scheduled with no end in sight.
What should the agile coach do?

Answer options

• A. Work with the team to determine points at which to celebrate its work
• B. Provide the team with a break by scheduling a team event
• C. Have the team increase work in progress (WIP) levels to more quickly complete the flow
• D. Rejuvenate the team by temporarily reducing WIP levels

Correct answer: A

Explanation

The correct answer is A because celebrating achievements can boost team morale and engagement, helping to address the disinterest observed. Options B, C, and D do not directly tackle the issue of disinterest; instead, they may only serve as temporary distractions or further complicate the team's workflow without resolving the underlying concern.
