In the last two iterations, a project team failed to deliver all of the stories on time. What should the project manager do first in order to prevent this from reoccurring?

Question

Options

• AExtend the delivery time for the product since the management reserve allows it.
• BIdentify possible reasons for the delay and consult the risk register for corrective actions.
• CObserve the project team's performance for the next two iterations before taking any action.
• DTemporarily use another team for the next iteration and evaluate their performance.

• A
  15% (4)
• B
  73% (19)
• C
  8% (2)
• D
  4% (1)

Explanation

Before taking any corrective action, the project manager must first understand the root cause of the repeated failure. Consulting the risk register helps determine whether the delays were previously identified risks with planned responses. Without a root cause diagnosis, any action taken-extending timelines, swapping teams, or waiting-may be ineffective or counterproductive. Extending delivery time (A) addresses the symptom, not the cause. Waiting two more iterations (C) allows the problem to persist. Replacing the team temporarily (D) is drastic and premature without evidence the team is the root cause.
