Project Management Professional (PMP) — Question 987

An organization is producing a product using a hybrid approach with several phases. Some of the phases are planned to be executed in predictive and some in agile. During the agile phase, the project manager notices that the team members sometimes unknowingly work on the same task.

What should the project manager do?

Answer options

• A. Communicate the task assignments to the team members in a clear manner.
• B. Confirm that the agile coach has made the task assignments clear.
• C. Verify that the team members have made the task assignments clear.
• D. Verify that the product owner has made the task assignments clear.

Correct answer: C

Explanation

The correct answer is C because it emphasizes the importance of team members communicating their own task assignments to avoid overlap. Options A, B, and D suggest that clarity should come from external sources, which may not effectively address the issue of team collaboration and communication during the agile phase.
