Exam PMI-ACP topic 1 question 90 discussion

I think a training is good but after validation with the team. C is the my choice.

C also makes sense, because a decision cannot be made with suggestion of just one team member. Consensus is needed from other team members which makes C another viable option. For me I will go for C.

Team Collaboration and Feedback: Before making a decision, it's important to get input from the entire team. There may be other perspectives on the impact of the lack of database administration skills, and the team might have suggestions for improving the current workflow that don't require training. Prioritization of Resources: Training is valuable, but it also requires time and resources. By discussing the issue with the team, the lead can determine if sending a member for training is the most effective solution or if there are other ways to address the concern. Minimizing Disruption: If the team agrees that training is necessary, sending one member can help build the needed skills without disrupting the team's overall progress. This can be more efficient than waiting for the entire team to be trained.

I would go with C: Send one member to training only after asking the team if there is an issue with the current workflow In an agile environment, it's important to consider the impact on the team as a whole. While individual skill development is valuable, decisions should be made collaboratively with the team.

The agile team lead should choose option C. They should first discuss the concern with the entire team to understand if there's an issue with the current workflow due to the reliance on outside specialists. If the team collectively agrees that there's a challenge, then sending the concerned team member for database administrator training could be considered. This approach promotes collaboration and ensures that decisions are made collectively, aligning with Agile principles.

A make sense. Because the question refer to agile team lead then he knew issue and no need to ask the team.

A = correct. The team is self-organized. The team is accountable, not a certain member. T

Vote A

Option C. In Agile Framework, it's important to promote self-organizing and cross-functional teams, and to encourage team members to take on new responsibilities and develop new skills. However, it's also important to balance this with the need to maintain a sustainable pace of work and ensure that team members are not overburdened with work they are not qualified to do. In this scenario, the team lead should first ask the team if there is an issue with the current work flow and if the team member's inability to handle database administration is impacting velocity. If the team agrees that this is an issue, then sending the team member to training could be a good option. However, it's important to make sure that this training does not disrupt the team's ability to deliver on their current commitments, so sending only one member to training would be a more prudent approach.

I am going with C

A is correct. A member of the team is unable to perform the job at hand. He is asking for training. If a member needs training to perform better, then to training he/she should go.

i vote C

I choose C

As a SM, would you release a member for training even though it will affect the current work flow. The best answer is C

correct A

A is my answer. C doesn't look correct, why the team lead would ask team if there is an issue with the current flow. A team lead is self emergent and should already know that.

A - Correct From PMI’s Agile Practice Guide, Page 41: “Cross-functional teams are critical because they can deliver finished work in the shortest possible time, with higher quality, without external dependencies.”
