Explanation
Agile requires the project manager to adopt a servant-leader or facilitating mindset rather than a command-and-control approach. Instead of directing and controlling, the Agile PM removes impediments, enables the team, and supports self-organization. Option B is incorrect because Agile is not simply about incremental direction. Option C is a logistical practice but not the key success factor. Option D goes too far - the PM does not give up management entirely; they shift their role, not abdicate it.
