PMI Agile Certified Practitioner (PMI-ACP) — Question 276

A large, corporate organization is forced to hire new team members in a geographically remote location from the current team. The manager of the department is concerned about the team not being colocated.

What behavior would indicate the team is not working well together?

Answer options

• A. Team members are sending more emails to the team.
• B. The duration of feedback cycles has increased.
• C. The velocity has increased by having the new team work on items.
• D. New team members requested to move meetings due to time differences.

Correct answer: B

Explanation

The correct answer is B because longer feedback cycles often indicate communication breakdowns and reduced collaboration. Option A, while it may suggest increased communication, does not necessarily mean the team is not working well together. Option C suggests improved productivity, which contradicts the idea of poor teamwork, and option D reflects logistical challenges, not necessarily a lack of collaboration.
