PMI Agile Certified Practitioner (PMI-ACP) — Question 232

A software project is being implemented by a small, colocated team. What should the project manager do to keep the team focused and engaged with the high level of requirements?

Answer options

• A. Arrange afternoon touchpoints where the team can discuss what they have done during the day.
• B. Request that the project sponsor is present during daily standups to increase commitment from the team.
• C. Send out daily activity tasks to each member of the team, mitigating the risk of tasks being forgotten.
• D. Make use of a kanban board so that the team will have a clear view of the work in progress (WIP) for the release.

Correct answer: D

Explanation

The correct answer is D, as a kanban board visually represents the workflow and helps the team track their progress on tasks, which enhances focus and engagement. Options A, B, and C may facilitate communication or accountability but do not provide the same level of clarity and ongoing visibility into work that a kanban board offers.
