Project Management Professional (PMP) — Question 1308

In an agile project that is about 45% complete, most team members are siloed and lack an understanding of each other's work. What would have most likely caused this communication breakdown?

Answer options

• A. The daily standup meetings were not consistently attended.
• B. The weekly project status reports were not published regularly.
• C. The sprint review meetings were not held regularly.
• D. The project manager failed to develop a communications management plan.

Correct answer: A

Explanation

The correct answer is A because daily standup meetings are crucial for team synchronization and communication. If these meetings are not consistently attended, team members may not be aware of each other's progress and challenges, leading to silos. While the other options may also contribute to communication issues, the daily standup is specifically designed to address immediate collaboration among team members.
