Project Management Professional (PMP) — Question 84

An organization is transitioning to an agile delivery approach. There is only one project that is being used as a pilot for the new approach. The project management office (PMO) manager has asked the project lead how communications with the project team and the stakeholders will be managed.
What should the project lead recommend?

Answer options

• A. Send weekly reports to the PMO, and use a kanban board for the product owner and the project team
• B. Send the weekly report to the PMO and the product owner, and use a kanban board for the project team
• C. Invite the PMO manager to the daily standup with the project team and product owner
• D. Send weekly reports to all stakeholders, including the project team and the product owner

Correct answer: A

Explanation

The correct recommendation is to send weekly reports to the PMO and utilize a kanban board for both the product owner and the project team, as this ensures effective communication and visibility of progress. Option B is incorrect because it limits the kanban board's use to only the project team, which may hinder collaboration. Option C does not establish a structured communication method beyond the daily standup, while option D may overwhelm stakeholders with unnecessary information.
