A project using the agile/adaptive approach has reached the Project Integration Management phase. What is the project manager's key responsibility during this phase?

Defining project scope is a Planning Domain activity and, in agile, scope definition is iterative and shared with the team and product owner, not a primary PM integration responsibility.

Agile integration management shifts the PM's focus from command-and-control to servant leadership, with building a collaborative environment as the central duty. This means creating the conditions - trust, transparency, and open communication - that allow self-organizing teams to deliver effectively. The PM facilitates integration by enabling team collaboration rather than directing or prescribing specific actions.

Creating a detailed project management plan is characteristic of predictive (waterfall) integration management; agile relies on lightweight, adaptive planning rather than a comprehensive upfront plan.

Directing the delivery of the project reflects a predictive PM role; in agile, the team self-directs delivery while the PM removes impediments and enables collaboration.
