Project Management Professional (PMP) — Question 659

A team has been working for two months and has consistently missed planned user stories. How should the project manager address this issue?

Answer options

• A. Ensure the sprint size is appropriate for the iteration duration.
• B. Engage is recruiting a highly skilled resource to reinforce the skills.
• C. Promote changing the iteration duration in order to commit as planned.
• D. Consider using a reward system to encourage timely delivery.

Correct answer: A

Explanation

The correct answer, A, highlights the importance of aligning sprint size with the iteration duration to improve planning and execution. Option B, while potentially beneficial, does not directly address the current issue of missed stories. Option C suggests changing the iteration duration, which may not resolve the underlying problems, and option D focuses on motivation rather than structural adjustments needed for better performance.
