Project Management Professional (PMP) — Question 1333

A project team has finished its first iteration out of six. The iteration's delivery performance (velocity) was 50%. During the iteration retrospective, the team realizes that the complexity of the work was underestimated.

What should the project manager do?

Answer options

• A. Update the issue log and escalate it to the project sponsor.
• B. Ask the technical manager to help the team with the issue.
• C. Meet with the team to review internal actions to resolve the situation.
• D. Ask to replace some team members with more experienced ones.

Correct answer: C

Explanation

The correct answer is C because meeting with the team allows for collaboration to identify practical solutions and improve future iterations. Option A does not directly address the issue, while B may not be necessary if the team can resolve it internally. Option D could disrupt team dynamics and may not be the best approach to enhance performance.
