Project Management Professional (PMP) — Question 107

An organization is transitioning to agile delivery, and a new team has been assembled. A project is not going well because the variation of the team velocity is very high and every sprint delivers less than committed. A new project lead with a strong technical background has been assigned to the project.

What should the project lead do?

Answer options

• A. Ask that estimations be provided only by senior developers.
• B. Recommend a different estimation method in the retrospective.
• C. Allocate more time for estimation in the sprint planning.
• D. Review and update the estimations in the daily standup.

Correct answer: B

Explanation

The correct answer is B because recommending a different estimation method can help the team find a more effective way to predict their work capacity and improve consistency. The other options do not address the underlying issues with estimation methods and may not lead to better team performance.
