PMI Agile Certified Practitioner (PMI-ACP) — Question 261

During team meetings, the team often struggles with making decisions about their technical approach. What should be done to improve the quality and timeliness of decisions?

Answer options

• A. Work with the team to improve collaboration by fostering group decision making and conflict resolution techniques.
• B. Promote team discussion but give the product owner the ultimate decision making authority.
• C. Assign individual team members as decision owners for each key decision to avoid conflict.
• D. Identify team members that demonstrate servant leadership qualities to facilitate discussion and make decisions.

Correct answer: A

Explanation

The correct answer is A because fostering group decision-making and conflict resolution techniques leads to better collaboration and inclusivity, which enhances the decision-making process. Option B undermines team input by centralizing authority in the product owner, while option C may create silos and limit collaborative efforts. Option D, though valuable, focuses more on facilitation rather than improving the overall decision-making process within the team.
