PMI Agile Certified Practitioner (PMI-ACP) — Question 78

A project is starting and the type of work is complex and suitable for agile. In assessing the team members, it appears that co-location would be a challenge.
What should the agile practitioner do?

Answer options

• A. Select and implement collaboration tools to augment team interactions
• B. Provide each geographical area with their own product owner and divide the work between the teams
• C. Increase the number of requirements documents and ensure they are clearly communicated
• D. After several sprints, calculate velocity based on primary team location and use secondary team as reserve

Correct answer: A

Explanation

The correct answer is A because selecting collaboration tools can help bridge the gap caused by co-location challenges, allowing team members to communicate effectively regardless of their physical locations. Option B may introduce complexity in coordination, Option C does not address the communication barriers effectively, and Option D may not provide an accurate measure of team performance due to the separation.
