Project Management Professional (PMP) — Question 585

A newly formed team has become accustomed to agile practices. The project lead has noticed that while they are performing according to expectations, there is boredom with daily team practices among many of the team members.
What should the project lead do in this situation?

Answer options

• A. Challenge the team to find new ways to achieve higher levels of performance to improve the situation
• B. Speak with individual team members to determine what they would like to do to improve the situation in the team
• C. Have the team inform senior management of the situation and ask for recommendations
• D. Allow the team to self-organize and have them analyze the situation in their retrospective session and self correct

Correct answer: D

Explanation

The correct answer is D because allowing the team to self-organize and reflect on their practices promotes ownership and engagement. This approach empowers team members to identify and implement their own solutions, fostering a sense of responsibility. The other options, while helpful, may not encourage the same level of team involvement and initiative.
