Project Management Professional (PMP) — Question 1095

A self-organizing team was delivering as committed. The team accepted a development task with new technology and the iterations started to have reduced velocity.

What management decision is suited for this situation?

Answer options

• A. Move team members who are not performing from the team.
• B. Add new members to the team and increase the velocity.
• C. Re-assign the project to a team that has worked with this technology.
• D. Provide opportunity for team members to learn and adjust to the technology.

Correct answer: D

Explanation

The correct answer is D because providing learning opportunities allows the team to gain the necessary skills and confidence to work with the new technology, ultimately improving their velocity over time. Options A and B do not address the root cause of the issue, which is the lack of familiarity with the technology, while option C may not be feasible or beneficial as it does not support the original team's growth.
