PMI Agile Certified Practitioner (PMI-ACP) — Question 17

An agile practitioner notices that team members are disengaged. As a result, the team's velocity has decreased.
What should the agile practitioner do to get the team back on track?

Answer options

• A. Escalate the issue to the project sponsor
• B. Remove stories to increase velocity
• C. Hold a standup to address the issue
• D. Facilitate a team retrospective

Correct answer: D

Explanation

The correct answer, D, is appropriate because a team retrospective allows members to reflect on their work and identify issues affecting engagement and velocity. Options A and B do not address the root cause of the disengagement, while C, while helpful, is less effective than a comprehensive retrospective in encouraging team dialogue and solutions.
