Project Management Professional (PMP) — Question 698

A member of an agile team constantly borrows the password to enter the software development platform. This situation has created a problem, because a version of the code was modified without authorization and nobody wants to take responsibility for this modification.

What should the project lead have done to prevent this situation?

Answer options

• A. Checked user permissions
• B. Defined the ground rules
• C. Reviewed the security policies
• D. Shared the code of ethics

Correct answer: B

Explanation

The correct answer is B because establishing ground rules would help clarify access policies and responsibilities among team members. Options A and C, while relevant, do not address the need for clear behavioral expectations, and option D does not directly relate to the issue of unauthorized access and accountability.
