Project Management Professional (PMP) — Question 1165

In an agile project, the team decided to have a rotating group of facilitators for the daily scrum. Overall, most of the facilitators have grown and done well in this role; however, a few of them tend to run inefficient daily scrums.
What should the project manager do next?

Answer options

• A. Praise the team for self-organizing and growing, then work one-on-one with the facilitators, as needed.
• B. Return to using the scrum master as the facilitator for the daily scrums now that the trial period is over.
• C. Ask the facilitators who are doing well to continue and recommend that the others stop facilitating.
• D. Retrain all team members on daily scrum facilitation to ensure there is consistency in the approach.

Correct answer: A

Explanation

The correct answer is A because it supports the team's growth and self-organization while offering targeted support to those struggling. Option B undermines the team's autonomy by reverting to a single facilitator, while C may discourage development by removing opportunities for less effective facilitators. Option D could be excessive, as only a few facilitators are underperforming, and retraining everyone may not be necessary.
