PMI Agile Certified Practitioner (PMI-ACP) — Question 294

During a six-week iteration, an issue is identified by a team member. After analysis, the team member determines that it will take at least two weeks to resolve.

What should the team member do?

Answer options

• A. Notify the product owner and begin resolution.
• B. Communicate the issue to the team in the next stand up meeting.
• C. Immediately begin resolution, and communicate it to the team during the retrospective.
• D. Work on the next activity, and communicate it to the team during the retrospective.

Correct answer: A

Explanation

The correct action is to notify the product owner and begin resolution, as they need to be aware of potential delays and impacts on the project. Communicating in the stand up or retrospective may not provide timely updates needed for decision-making, and working on the next activity without addressing the issue could lead to further complications.
