PMP Practice Question 488 - Process
An information technology (IT) team is responsible for the validation and release of a product developed by the agile development team. Due to other priorities for the IT team, the releases are delayed. What action should the project manager take?
- A.Escalate the issue from the IT team to management and get the validation prioritized

- C.Deliver the features when the IT team is able to validate them
- D.Request the IT team to immediately release the product and then validate the features
Correct answer: B
Explanation
When the IT team's other priorities delay validation and release of agile team deliverables, the project manager should work with the IT team to prioritize the validation and release of new features. Collaborative prioritization promotes teamwork and addresses the bottleneck constructively. Escalating to management (A) may create tension before attempting collaboration. Delivering features when IT is available (C) accepts the delay passively. Requesting immediate release without validation (D) compromises quality.
