Project Management Professional (PMP) — Question 29

A large corporation is transforming itself from a predictive to agile approach. A project team with knowledge of agile practices is experiencing significant conflicts with the executives regarding the processes to be followed.
How should these conflicts be resolved?

Answer options

• A. Train the executives on agile practices.
• B. Include the executives in team retrospectives.
• C. Negotiate with the executives and agree on a process.
• D. Request that the executives use agile practices.

Correct answer: C

Explanation

The correct answer, C, emphasizes the importance of negotiation and collaboration to reach a mutually acceptable process, which is essential when transitioning to agile. A is less effective because simply training the executives may not address their concerns. B may not be appropriate if the executives are not fully on board with agile, and D could come off as too demanding without fostering collaboration.
