Project Management Professional (PMP) — Question 1200

A project is in progress with a team that is new to agile approaches. After the first sprint review, the team performance begins slipping, and the conclusion is that there is not an adequate flow of work for the team.
What should the project manager do?

Answer options

• A. Provide the product owner with training.
• B. Submit a change request to rebaseline the project.
• C. Change the project approach to hybrid.
• D. Discuss the issue with the stakeholders.

Correct answer: A

Explanation

Providing training to the product owner is essential as they play a critical role in ensuring the team has a well-defined backlog and proper prioritization. The other options, such as rebaselining or changing the approach, may not address the root cause of the issue, which is the team's understanding and application of agile practices.
