Question 2

A team has just adopted an agile approach. During daily standup meetings, the team expressed concerns about task delays. The project leader worked with the product owner to get clarity on the features. The project leader asked the team to fast-track all product features to ensure delivery. Sprints are being completed but with either fewer features or low quality.

What should the project leader have done to ensure success?

    Correct Answer: D

    In an agile approach, success is often achieved by empowering the team to improve their processes, tools, and interactions to be more effective in delivery and removing impediments. Empowering the team fosters autonomy, accountability, and continuous improvement. The project leader should enable the team to address and resolve issues independently, which is consistent with the principles of agile methodologies that promote self-organizing and cross-functional teams.
