What should the project manager do first?

Answer options

• C. Start with a pilot project of appropriate complexity, and provide agile training to those who are impacted
• D. Determine how to transform the organization using agile techniques, including organizational training and communications

Correct answer: C

Explanation

The correct answer is C because starting with a pilot project allows for a controlled environment to test the agile approach and gather feedback, which is crucial for gaining buy-in.
