Project Management Professional (PMP) — Question 1243

A company starts implementing Scrum. About halfway through the first sprint, communication issues develop. Some project team members are not in sync with other team members.
What is the cause for this communication gap?

Answer options

• A. The project sprint board has not been updated
• B. Daily standup meetings were not held or enforced
• C. The project status dashboard has not been updated
• D. The communications management plan has not been developed

Correct answer: B

Explanation

The correct answer is B because daily standup meetings are crucial for ensuring that all team members are aligned and aware of each other's work. If these meetings are not held or enforced, communication can break down. The other options, while important for overall project tracking, do not directly address the immediate need for daily communication among team members.
