PMI Agile Certified Practitioner (PMI-ACP) — Question 147

A team member is stressed due to a heavy workload, while other team members have some slack in their schedules.
How should the team lead address this?

Answer options

• A. Inform management, and suggest that additional resources may be required
• B. Discuss the issue with the team in the daily stand up meetings
• C. Meet personally with the stressed team member to brainstorm ways to better manage their time
• D. Begin tracking the stressed team member's tasks in a separate backlog for additional analysis and reporting

Correct answer: C

Explanation

The correct answer, C, focuses on directly engaging with the stressed team member to understand their challenges and collaboratively find solutions, which is more effective than general discussions or tracking tasks. Options A and D involve external actions that may not directly help the team member, while B may not provide the personal support needed to address individual stress.
