PMI Agile Certified Practitioner (PMI-ACP) — Question 230

The agile lead is told by executive leadership that the team needs to work faster because the release date has been moved up three months. The agile lead communicates the updated timeline to the team. One of the junior team members objects and feels the timeline is unrealistic.

What should the junior team member do?

Answer options

• A. Speak to the agile lead about the concerns.
• B. Follow the agile lead's instructions.
• C. Increase the time worked to meet objectives.
• D. Speak to all team members about the concerns.

Correct answer: D

Explanation

The correct answer is D because discussing concerns with all team members can foster collaboration and collective problem-solving. This approach may also lead to a better assessment of the timeline and potential solutions. Options A and B focus on individual communication with the agile lead, which may not address the broader team dynamics, while option C is not a sustainable solution to meeting project goals.
