Project Management Professional (PMP) — Question 1268

A Scrum team has committed to delivering a specific capability in their first release. Multiple operational issues have prevented the developer from delivering key capabilities. The technical lead has also given notice that they are resigning from the company.
What should the project manager have the Scrum team do to recover from these issues?

Answer options

• A. Review constraints in the ongoing sprint planning and evaluate options for the release plan
• B. Stop the sprint and replan and prioritize the backlog to reduce resource levels
• C. Consult the resource management plan for an appropriate response
• D. Continue with existing sprint plans to ensure some of the scope will be delivered

Correct answer: A

Explanation

The correct answer is A because reviewing constraints during sprint planning allows the team to adapt their release plan based on current realities and to strategize effectively. Options B and D are not ideal as stopping the sprint could disrupt progress, while continuing as planned may lead to unmet commitments. Option C is less relevant since consulting the resource management plan does not address the immediate need for tactical adjustments in the sprint.
