Project Management Professional (PMP) — Question 806

A project manager works for an organization that intends to begin using agile delivery, but there is a lack of support from some business units. The project manager needs to address the lack of trust in agile.

What should the project manager recommend?

Answer options

• A. Negotiate special arrangements for an agile pilot project.
• B. Define detailed work instructions for agile project delivery.
• C. Implement and establish an agile framework for the project.
• D. Hire a team of contractors for agile project delivery.

Correct answer: A

Explanation

The correct answer is A because negotiating a pilot project allows for a controlled environment to demonstrate the benefits of agile, helping to build trust. Options B and C may not address the underlying trust issues and can be seen as overly prescriptive, while D could lead to dependency on contractors instead of fostering internal capabilities.
