Project Management Professional (PMP) — Question 277

An agile project started 6 months ago. Since the beginning of the project, there have been disagreements among team members regarding daily meetings since some of the team members are not available at the same time. The project manager is convinced an agile team should be self-organizing, and that meeting times should be worked out by the team.
What should the project manager do?

Answer options

• A. Establish a team charter.
• B. Recognize the team's contributions.
• C. Assign a team leader.
• D. Establish a project schedule.

Correct answer: A

Explanation

Creating a team charter is the correct approach as it allows the team to establish their own guidelines and processes, including meeting times. The other options do not empower the team to self-organize; recognizing contributions does not address the scheduling issue, assigning a leader may contradict the self-organizing principle, and establishing a project schedule does not involve team collaboration.
