Project Management Professional (PMP) — Question 1148

A company is transitioning from a predictive approach to an agile approach. The team members work remotely, and some have personal conflicts that make them unavailable for some project ceremonies. The product owner has made it clear that the agenda is very tight and the team should make every effort to participate in all ceremonies.

What should the project manager, as a servant leader, do to address this situation?

Answer options

• A. Evaluate alternative options and try to find resources with similar skills.
• B. Engage in separate ceremonies with these team members to allow them to stay on the project.
• C. Ask the team members to decide collectively on how to support the team.
• D. Perform the ceremonies without the team members and send them notes by email.

Correct answer: C

Explanation

The correct answer is C because it promotes collaboration and team ownership, allowing team members to collectively decide how to support one another. Options A and B do not encourage team involvement or address the root issue of participation. Option D disregards the importance of teamwork and communication, which are fundamental in an agile environment.
