Project Management Professional (PMP) — Question 789

A project manager is part of a cross-functional agile team. Throughout the project, it has become obvious that team members from different functional units have different perspectives of what the outcome should be.

What should the project manager do to resolve this?

Answer options

• A. Check to ensure the project outcome aligns with the project charter and statement of work (SOW).
• B. Invite the project sponsor to the sprint review to provide clarity on the sprint outcome.
• C. Ask the product owner to address the concerns about the project outcome during the sprint retrospective.
• D. Schedule a meeting with the stakeholders to determine a consensus regarding the outcome.

Correct answer: D

Explanation

The correct answer is D because organizing a meeting with stakeholders allows for direct discussion and helps unify perspectives to achieve a consensus on the project outcome. Options A, B, and C do not directly involve reconciling the differing views among team members and stakeholders, which is essential for project alignment.
