PMI Agile Certified Practitioner (PMI-ACP) — Question 36

A mature agile team welcomes a new member. Due to poor experiences with a previous team, the new member is reluctant to communicate.
What should be the agile project leader do?

Answer options

• A. Bring up the new member's impediments at the next meeting to demonstrate team support of input
• B. Assure the new member that inputs on impediments are valued, and demonstrate this at the next meeting
• C. Have a senior leader work with the new member to avoid a negative impact on team productivity
• D. Privately work with the new member to address any impediments

Correct answer: B

Explanation

Option B is correct as it directly addresses the new member's concerns by validating their input and demonstrating team support during a meeting. Option A, while supportive, does not assure the new member of the value of their contributions. Option C may isolate the new member further and does not encourage direct communication. Option D may help but lacks the team acknowledgment that can foster a more inclusive environment.
