Question 1234

A team is assembled for a new project that will be using a predictive approach through requirements gathering and an agile approach for development and testing. Not everyone on the team has experience working in agile. The schedule has started slipping due to the unclear structure of the agile development approach.

What should the project manager have done to avoid this situation?

Set up weekly status meetings to review team progress, prepared weekly status reports to track progress, and regularly escalated delays.

Established daily standup meetings to track and report on team progress and escalated delays to stakeholders as they occurred.

Met with the team, allowed team members to make decisions about what to do, and established performance goals.

Conducted routine meetings and identified team members who are under performing.

Correct Answer: C

To avoid the situation where the team is unfamiliar with the agile approach, the project manager should have met with the team, allowed team members to make decisions about what to do, and established performance goals. This would help in understanding the agile methodology better and empower the team to make informed decisions, thus reducing the impact of an unclear structure. Regular standup meetings or escalating delays might address communication, but they won't directly address the team's unfamiliarity with agile practices.

Discussion

FlakyOOption: B

B seems not to make sense, project managers work with the team, PM should not escalate to stakeholders
