Question

A project team is distributed across multiple countries, and they are having issues agreeing on what is being delivered and how it should be developed. Which of the following should the project manager do to alleviate some of the tension between team members, break down cultural barriers, and improve communication?

Options

  • AWork was removed from the Product Backlog.
  • BWork was added to the Product Backlog.
  • CThe team's velocity increased.
  • DThe team's velocity decreased.

Explanation

The question asks how a project manager should reduce tension, break cultural barriers, and improve communication on a geographically distributed team. Best Agile practice includes co-location visits, team charters, explicit communication agreements, and cross-cultural training. The answer choices, however, describe Product Backlog changes - another mismatch. The stated correct answer B ('Work was added to the Product Backlog') could loosely be interpreted as adding communication-improvement or team-building work items to the backlog, but the question stem and answers are from different questions.
