Project Management Professional (PMP) — Question 1147

A project team has recently finished a sprint for developing two features for a fleet management system. Although the team delivered the required features, they encountered several issues and conflicts during the sprint. Team members were upset about this experience and are now showing a lack of motivation due to what has occurred.

What can the project manager do to help increase the team's motivation and engagement with the project?

Answer options

• A. Review sprint planning procedures with the project team members.
• B. Set up one-on-one meetings with the project team members.
• C. Perform a sprint retrospective with the project team members.
• D. Review sprint progress with the project team members.

Correct answer: C

Explanation

The correct answer is C because conducting a sprint retrospective allows the team to reflect on what went well and what could be improved, fostering open communication and collaboration, which can boost morale. The other options, while beneficial, do not specifically address the need for reflection and learning from the recent challenges faced during the sprint.
