PMI Agile Certified Practitioner (PMI-ACP) — Question 309

A newly formed, colocated team is participating in daily standups, but is otherwise working largely as individual contributors. This has resulted in misalignment of activities. Planned velocity is being met.

What should the agile practitioner do?

Answer options

• A. Plan activities that will require the team to work collaboratively on a regular basis.
• B. Set collaboration metrics and evaluate individuals against those metrics.
• C. Request that line management add more collaborative team members to the team.
• D. Allow the team to continue with no interference as activities are being met.

Correct answer: A

Explanation

The correct answer is A, as it encourages teamwork and collaboration, which can improve alignment and overall performance. Options B and C focus on metrics and additional resources, which do not directly address the current issue of misalignment. Option D is not advisable because it ignores the underlying problem of the team's lack of collaboration despite meeting planned velocity.
