Project Management Professional (PMP) — Question 1408

An organization is transitioning to agile and a project has been chosen as a pilot. The assigned project manager only has experience using predictive approaches, but the project manager is now required to use agile approaches with the help of an agile coach. During the retrospective of the fifth sprint, the project team complains that many obstacles exist with the organization that are creating project delays and rework.
What should the project manager do in this situation?

Answer options

• A. Include impediment resolutions during daily standup meetings
• B. Perform a root cause analysis during the standup meetings
• C. Create a dedicated sprint to solve the obstacles with the team
• D. Promote collaboration to help remove the obstacles for the team

Correct answer: D

Explanation

The correct answer is D because promoting collaboration is essential for identifying and removing obstacles in an agile environment. While the other options may help in specific ways, they do not foster the overall teamwork necessary to effectively tackle the challenges faced by the project team.
