Project Management Professional (PMP) — Question 814

A project team is transitioning to agile delivery. The team uses a Kanban board to track progress. In the daily meetings, the team members have been reporting good progress. However, the cards on the board are not progressing toward "done."

What should the project manager do?

Answer options

• A. Ask each team member to include the completion date on their cards.
• B. Remind the team that self-organized teams are accountable for project progress.
• C. Cancel the daily meetings and organize weekly project team meetings.
• D. Ask the development lead to indicate low performers after the daily meeting.

Correct answer: B

Explanation

The correct answer is B because it emphasizes the accountability of self-organized teams in an agile environment, encouraging them to take ownership of their progress. Option A does not address the lack of progress, option C removes a key agile practice that promotes daily communication, and option D could undermine team morale without fostering improvement.
