PMI Agile Certified Practitioner (PMI-ACP) — Question 31

An agile coach is assigned to help a project team that was recently co-located close to a very popular business. Many team members visit this business during working hours which affects team performance.
What should the agile coach do to mitigate this issue?

Answer options

• A. Speak with the functional managers and come to an agreement that will resolve the issue
• B. Explain to functional managers that too much control will inversely impact team morale
• C. Meet with the team to discuss the issue and identify specific actions to reduce or eliminate the issue
• D. Inform the team there will be penalties to anyone who visits that business during working hours

Correct answer: C

Explanation

The correct answer is C because involving the team allows for collaborative problem-solving and ownership of the solution. Options A and B focus on external management rather than directly addressing the team's needs, and D imposes penalties, which could further decrease morale and trust within the team.
