PMI Agile Certified Practitioner (PMI-ACP) — Question 165

The agile practitioner has determined that two different team members are working on addressing the same major issue on the project.
How should the agile practitioner address this?

Answer options

• A. Implement a burnup chart and add the issue resolution as a task to the product backlog for the customer to prioritize
• B. Add the issue to the kanban board and assign the it to the team member who has made the most progress on resolving it
• C. Conduct a root-cause analysis on the issue and identify related risks and risk response owners at the next retrospective
• D. Document all project issues in a common space and ask the team members to decide on task allocation principles

Correct answer: D

Explanation

The correct answer is D because documenting all project issues in a common space allows the team members to collaboratively determine how tasks should be allocated, promoting transparency and team ownership. Option A, while useful for tracking progress, does not address the issue of duplicate efforts directly. Option B may lead to favoritism and does not involve the entire team in the decision-making process. Option C focuses on analysis but does not directly solve the problem of overlapping work.
