PMI Agile Certified Practitioner (PMI-ACP) — Question 290

An organization wants to execute a corporate website redesign project using Scrum. There is an experienced pool of agile team members from a previous project, as well as a pool of available internal team members with some Scrum background.

What should be considered when selecting the team?

Answer options

• A. Review any reports of conflict between each of the team members over the last two years, and select only those with a track record of working well together.
• B. Ensure there is a balanced mix of people who are experts and members with broad experience based on the work to be performed and determine training needs.
• C. Ensure that none of the team members are geographically dispersed so that all team members can be colocated.
• D. Review each team member's contributions to the velocity of their previous projects and select the highest performers.

Correct answer: B

Explanation

The correct answer is B because a balanced team with both experts and those with diverse experiences is essential for the project's success, allowing for knowledge sharing and adaptability. Option A focuses too much on past conflicts, which may overlook valuable team dynamics. Option C disregards the benefits of remote collaboration, and option D prioritizes individual performance over team synergy and skill diversity.
