Project Management Professional (PMP) — Question 862

A project manager is assigned to an analysis project for a customer. The project manager needs to keep the performance of the team a step ahead of the estimated delivery schedules.

What should the project manager do to impact the sprint cycles going forward on the project?

Answer options

• A. Build the capacity of the team to improve sprint cycles and provide weekly trend reports.
• B. Engage an expert in project management to explain to the team how fast to work on the sprint cycle.
• C. Work with the team on how to focus on only precommunicated project results.
• D. Train the team to analyze data and complete the user stories within the schedule.

Correct answer: A

Explanation

The correct answer, A, focuses on building the team's capacity, which is essential for improving sprint cycles and tracking progress through reports. Option B suggests bringing in an expert, which may not directly enhance the team's capabilities. Option C limits the team's focus to precommunicated results, potentially stifling innovation and improvement. Option D, while beneficial for user story completion, does not address the overall improvement of sprint cycles.
