PMI Agile Certified Practitioner (PMI-ACP) — Question 143

A member of a project's development team approaches the team lead and requests database administrator training. The team member believes that their inability to handle this work and to rely on outside specialists is impacting team velocity.
What should the agile team lead do?

Answer options

• A. Send the member to training
• B. Ask the outside specialists if database administration is required from the team
• C. Send one member to training only after asking the team if there is an issue with the current work flow
• D. Wait until all members of the team can attend training

Correct answer: C

Explanation

Option C is the best choice because it involves consulting the entire team to assess the workflow before making a decision, ensuring that the training is relevant and beneficial for the team as a whole. Option A is too unilateral, while option B does not address the training need directly. Option D delays action unnecessarily, potentially prolonging workflow issues.
