PMI Agile Certified Practitioner (PMI-ACP) — Question 211

Two agile teams from different company sites need to work and collaborate on the same project. What is the first action the agile project manager should take in order to ensure a smooth collaboration between the two teams?

Answer options

• A. Organize onsite backlog-refinement workshops to ensure common understanding.
• B. Set up weekly meetings where all team members will participate.
• C. Call an onsite meeting where ground rules will be discussed and agreed upon.
• D. Ask the product owner to prepare an onsite team-building activity.

Correct answer: C

Explanation

The correct answer is C, as establishing ground rules in an onsite meeting fosters clear communication and expectations between the teams. While options A and B may improve collaboration, they do not directly address the foundational agreement on norms. Option D, while beneficial, is more focused on team bonding rather than establishing essential collaborative guidelines.
