Project Management Professional (PMP) — Question 260

A team member in an agile project informs the project manager they might not be able to finish an assigned task on time, which could generate an obstacle for the rest of the team.
What should the project manager do?

Answer options

• A. Ask the team member to bring up the concern in the next daily meeting
• B. Send an email explaining the issue to all team members
• C. Reassign the task to another team member
• D. Move the task to the next sprint

Correct answer: A

Explanation

The correct answer is A because discussing the concern in the daily meeting allows for immediate team collaboration and problem-solving. Option B is ineffective as it does not foster direct communication. Option C may not be necessary if the team can address the issue collaboratively, and option D delays the task unnecessarily, potentially affecting project timelines.
