PMI Agile Certified Practitioner (PMI-ACP) — Question 299

A large project team of 20 people from different functional areas has just been formed and the project starts next week. The team will be working on a regulated and strictly controlled pharmaceutical product but does not have subject matter expertise.

Which two actions should the scrum master take as priorities? (Choose two.)

Answer options

• A. Schedule a meeting to engage stakeholders to prepare for kickoff.
• B. Schedule a meeting to agree to the goals for all future iterations.
• C. Guide the team to work collaboratively and share learnings.
• D. Organize a sprint planning meeting to define actions.
• E. Organize a meeting to outline roles and responsibilities.

Correct answer: C, E

Explanation

The correct answers are C and E. Guiding the team to work collaboratively and share learnings (C) is essential for fostering teamwork, especially given their lack of expertise. Outlining roles and responsibilities (E) is crucial to ensure that each member understands their contributions, which is particularly important in a regulated environment. The other options, while useful, do not address the immediate need for collaboration and clarity on roles.
