PMI Agile Certified Practitioner (PMI-ACP) — Question 138

An agile project leader notices that the team's velocity has decreased. In examining data provided by team members, the project leader discovers that one team member has been slow to enter story statuses.
What can happen as a result?

Answer options

• A. The team will be unable to understand the iteration's status
• B. The team will be unable to judge the project design's validity
• C. The team cannot give accurate updates to management
• D. Team collaboration cannot be measured effectively

Correct answer: A

Explanation

The correct answer is A because if story statuses are not updated in a timely manner, the team will have an unclear view of the iteration's progress, which can hinder their ability to make informed decisions. Options B and C, while potentially affected, do not directly tie to the immediate issue of understanding iteration status. Option D relates to measuring collaboration, which is not the primary concern in this scenario.
