Project Management Professional (PMP) — Question 266

An organization is introducing agile to its projects. During an informal discussion the project manager learned that team members who are currently working on different teams are discussing how they would like to be together on the same team.
What should the project manager do?

Answer options

• A. The project manager should not allow resources to choose teams because the project manager assigns the resources based upon project needs
• B. The project manager should not allow resources to choose on which team they would like to work because they will always choose their favorite team
• C. The project manager should allow the resources to periodically choose on which team they would like to work
• D. The project manager should indicate that the team members have already been assigned to a team through workforce optimization

Correct answer: C

Explanation

The correct answer is C because allowing team members to choose their teams can enhance motivation and collaboration, which aligns with agile principles. Options A and B are incorrect as they disregard team members' preferences, which can lead to disengagement. Option D is also wrong, as it does not consider the input and desires of the current team members.
