PMI Agile Certified Practitioner (PMI-ACP) — Question 256

A new agile team is forming to address a high-priority project. Team members are dispersed over a wide geographic area. The scrum master and the team are currently defining their working agreement.

What should be part of the working agreement for a dispersed team?

Answer options

• A. Identify support needed from external vendors to assist dispersed team members.
• B. Meet face to face at regular intervals to enhance shared understanding.
• C. Designate one person to communicate with all team members working at different locations.
• D. Define what project work can be done by dispersed team members.

Correct answer: B

Explanation

Option B is correct because regular face-to-face meetings, even if virtual, foster better communication and understanding among team members, which is crucial for dispersed teams. The other options focus on support and communication strategies but do not directly enhance the shared understanding that is essential for team cohesion and collaboration.
