PMI Agile Certified Practitioner (PMI-ACP) — Question 86

An agile team and a traditional development team are working together on a project. Each team exceeds expectations regarding deliverables; however, issues arise when the deliverables are integrated.
What should the agile practitioner do?

Answer options

• A. Foster stronger communication by hosting cross-organizational meetings between the two teams
• B. Suggest merging the teams to avoid misunderstandings
• C. Create stories from full technical specifications to avoid ambiguity
• D. Co-locate the teams to encourage osmotic communication

Correct answer: A

Explanation

The correct answer is A because fostering communication through cross-organizational meetings can help clarify expectations and resolve integration issues. Merging teams (B) may not address the root cause of misunderstandings, and creating stories from full specifications (C) can be time-consuming and may not facilitate immediate resolution. Co-locating teams (D) could help but is not as effective as directly enhancing communication between the teams.
