PMI Agile Certified Practitioner (PMI-ACP) — Question 282

An organization is shifting to an agile delivery methodology. An agile project manager has been assigned to the transformation project.

What should the agile project manager do to ensure a high level of adoption?

Answer options

• A. Focus on not just the "what," but also the "how" of delivering projects.
• B. Ensure that there is buy-in from senior management to adopt agile.
• C. Identify strong product owners to ensure project teams are delivering value.
• D. Train the team on the fundamentals of the agile mindset and principles.

Correct answer: D

Explanation

Training the team on the fundamentals of the agile mindset and principles is essential for fostering understanding and acceptance of agile practices, which is why D is the correct answer. While buy-in from senior management (B) and identifying strong product owners (C) are important, they do not directly ensure that the team is equipped to adopt agile effectively. Focusing on the 'how' of delivery (A) is also important, but without foundational knowledge, the team may struggle to implement agile successfully.
