PMP Practice Question 1501 - People
A project manager is leading a hybrid project. The self-organizing teams are continually late in delivering their demos, resulting in low morale. The steering committee is familiar with the reporting and planning associated with a predictive approach and is concerned about the project because it is unclear if the expected value will be delivered. What should the project manager do?
- ✓ Correct A.Suggest to the teams to limit the scope of work per iteration so they will start to delivermore reliably.
- B.Update the project schedule with a buffer to reflect the expected delays being incurredby the team.
- C.Request to coach the team to ensure motivated project team members are on board.
- D.Emphasize to the teams the importance of reaching the agreed deadlines and value.
Correct answer: A
Explanation
When self-organizing teams are continually late delivering demos and the steering committee is concerned about value delivery, the project manager should suggest teams limit the scope of work per iteration to start delivering more reliably. Smaller, achievable increments restore confidence and demonstrate value. Updating the schedule with a buffer (B) masks the problem. Requesting coaching (C) does not provide a specific solution. Emphasizing deadline importance (D) increases pressure without enabling improvement.
