Question 596

During an iteration of a project, a planned activity becomes more complex. The work should be delivered in the shortest time possible.

What approach should be used in this situation?

    Correct Answer: D

    When a planned activity becomes more complex and needs to be delivered in the shortest time possible, the most effective approach is for the cross-functional team members to work together to complete the activity. A cross-functional team has a diverse set of skills and expertise, enabling them to collaborate and address the complexity of the task efficiently. This approach leverages the strengths of each team member, promotes teamwork, and aligns with agile principles that emphasize adaptability and collaboration. Bringing in external specialists or moving the task to the backlog could introduce delays and disrupt the team's workflow.

certificate988Option: D

Option B is better but can team members decide to bring in specialist. I think it needs to be decided by PM. That is why D is next better choice as cross-functional team member is expected to have more skill to solve the problem. If B is the answer then it should say PM instead of team members.
