Project Management Professional (PMP) — Question 300

Two team members were recently released from a project because the customer reduced the budget. However, the agile team is still receiving the same, if not more, work requirements as before.
How should the agile project leader resolve this situation?

Answer options

• A. Update the project budget with the released team members.
• B. Update the restriction log with the new team capacity.
• C. Explain the new project requirements to the team.
• D. Explain the new team velocity to the customer.

Correct answer: D

Explanation

The correct answer is D, as explaining the new team velocity to the customer helps set realistic expectations regarding project deliverables given the reduced team size. Option A is incorrect because updating the budget does not address the workload issue. Option B does not communicate the changes to the customer, and option C fails to adjust the expectations of the project's scope based on the team's current capacity.
