Exam PMI-ACP topic 1 question 18 discussion

An agile coach helps organizations, teams, and individuals adopt agile practices and methods while embedding agile values and mindsets. The goal of an agile coach is to foster more effective, transparent, and cohesive teams, and to enable better outcomes, solutions, and products/services for customers. C is right answer

The Agile Coach’s responsibility includes fostering transparency and cross-functional collaboration across the organization. In this situation, where a critical disconnect exists between the development timeline and the marketing campaign, immediate action is required to prevent misalignment, confusion, and reputational risk. By meeting directly with marketing stakeholders, the Agile Coach: 1. Promotes transparency, a core agile value. 2. Prevents wasted effort and false public messaging. 3. Opens the door for re-alignment on realistic timelines.

Team should be self-organized. So even if someone needs to communicate the issue with marketing department (D), that has to be initiated by the team.

Vote C

This option ensures that the marketing department is informed promptly about the delay, allowing them to adjust their plans for the marketing campaign and release announcement accordingly. It demonstrates transparency and proactive communication, which are crucial in maintaining trust and managing expectations among stakeholders.

A is the right answer. The team has to find ways to bring the project back on track.

It's a few months behind schedule, that's pretty significant, and MKT does not know about this delay. I vote for D., I think it's most important to communicate the actualized delay.

Product Owner is the one who communicates to the Customer, not Agile Coach. The question states what Agile Couch to do. Agile Coach will work with the team so the answer C. However, this Agile Coach to inform Product Owner about the delay and this is within PO responsibility to handle this with the Customer. The answer D is correct from the Product Owner perspective only. I vote C.

C - correct. I agree with the explanation that Agile coach is not responsible for informing stakeholders. That's Product owner's job.

I think Answer should be "C" regardless of the situation. Corrective actions on an agile team is discussed during the retrospective which is related to agile. Communicating with marketing team etc is not relevant here as I see.

A. Ask the opinion of key stakeholders and the client to ensure the correct approach is being used

C is the Correct Answer

the Product owner has to set with stakeholders not the coach

The Product Owner is responsible for providing project status/updates to the stakeholders and not the Scrum Master.

O atraso jáacontecu.

C requires waitng which is a waste in Lean, D is the best answer.

..release is in a few months means: it will be carried out in the coming iterations, so there will be at least one retrospect in between, allowing the team to discuss the issue. Keyword UNAWARE - solution = find ways to improve information sharing: C.
