Project Management Professional (PMP) — Question 382

A project team's performance is being impacted by impeding internal procedures that are affecting the progress of activities and team autonomy.
What should the project manager do first to address this situation?

Answer options

• A. Discuss the issue in the next sprint review meeting
• B. Train the team members on the organization's procedures
• C. Ask the organization to improve the internal procedures
• D. Try to remove the barriers and empower team members

Correct answer: D

Explanation

The correct answer is D because removing barriers and empowering team members directly addresses the root cause of the issue, allowing the team to function more effectively. Option A delays action until the next meeting, option B focuses on training rather than resolving current hindrances, and option C relies on external changes that may take time and not address the immediate concerns.
