PMI Agile Certified Practitioner (PMI-ACP) — Question 216

A software development team is working in an environment in which increased competition, demanding customer expectations, and new technological developments pose significant challenges. How should the team plan improvements to their product?

Answer options

• A. Follow the project schedule created at the start of the project.
• B. Hold regular retrospectives and have team members commit to specific actions.
• C. Allow team members to choose improvement items and trust their judgment.
• D. Encourage team members to write code that is tightly coupled together.

Correct answer: B

Explanation

The correct answer, B, emphasizes the importance of regular retrospectives for continuous improvement, allowing team members to reflect and commit to actionable changes. Option A is incorrect because sticking rigidly to an initial schedule can hinder adaptability. Option C lacks structure, as it may lead to uncoordinated efforts, while option D promotes poor coding practices by suggesting tightly coupled code, which is detrimental to maintainability.
