PMI Agile Certified Practitioner (PMI-ACP) — Question 43

During a mature agile team's planning meeting, a team member proposes a new framework that would considerably reduce implementation time. However, the team lacks the confidence to try the new framework.
To help the team gain confidence, what should the agile practitioner suggest?

Answer options

• A. Develop a spike
• B. Create an Ishikawa diagram
• C. Perform a pre-mortem analysis
• D. Complete a variance and trend analysis

Correct answer: A

Explanation

Developing a spike allows the team to explore the new framework in a low-risk environment, which can help them gain the necessary confidence. The other options, while useful in different contexts, do not directly address the need for hands-on experimentation and risk reduction associated with adopting new practices.
