PMP Question #168: Real Exam Question with Answer & Explanation

Question

An agile project manager notices that one of the team members is developing extensive knowledge in a specific matter. Other team members are likely to require this knowledge in the future. What should the agile project manager do?

Options

• AAsk the team member to develop more expertise and become a subject matter expert (SME).
• BAsk the team member to provide a training session for the rest of the team.
• CAsk the team member to produce a lessons learned document and share it with the team.
• DAsk the team member to record highlights the team may want to know.

Explanation

The agile project manager should encourage the team member to create a lessons learned document to formalize and share their extensive knowledge, ensuring it is a reusable resource for future team reference and continuous improvement.

Common mistakes.

• A. Asking the team member to develop more expertise doesn't address the immediate need to share the existing valuable knowledge with other team members.
• B. While a training session could share knowledge, it's a one-time, synchronous event; a lessons learned document provides a persistent and easily accessible reference for the entire team over time.
• D. Recording highlights is less formal and comprehensive than a lessons learned document, which is designed for structured knowledge capture and broader dissemination within a project or organization.
