PMI Agile Certified Practitioner (PMI-ACP) — Question 278

The project lead of a newly created agile project delivery team realizes that there are gaps in the knowledge of some team members. The lack of specific skills will add risk to the project delivery if the project becomes too dependent on specific resources for complete delivery.

What should the project lead do to address the gaps and develop a high-performing team?

Answer options

• A. Ask each team member to document their solutions extensively in a knowledge repository for knowledge exchange between the team.
• B. Pair team members and ensure review of technical deliverables by partners in each sprint before integration of the solution.
• C. Create an environment of continued learning by providing opportunities for team members to develop their skills as generalized specialists.
• D. Replace the team members with highly qualified individuals that have experience in the specific technologies required for completing delivery.

Correct answer: C

Explanation

The correct answer is C because creating an environment of continued learning allows team members to develop a broader skill set, reducing dependency on specific individuals. Option A focuses on documentation, which doesn't directly address skill gaps; B emphasizes review but not skill development; and D may disrupt team dynamics and continuity by replacing members rather than upskilling them.
