Selected Answer: D
The team has identified the problem, i.e. task delays due to unclarity of the feature. Using the elimination technique, option A is a bad choice because the team know the impediment, there is no need to log it. Option B is e a good choice, that the Project Leaders direct the team for possible solutions. Option C is similar to option A, so it can be crossed out. Option D is the best choice, where the Project Leader empowers the team. This option is better than option B where the Project Leader directs the team.

The answer is D. The main concern as regards any project is timely delivery and quality. It is important that as a project manager you are able to implement procedures that ensure quality and in this case the project leader needs to empower his team.

Selected Answer: D
To ensure the success of the agile project, the project leader should have focused on proper backlog grooming, clear sprint goals, prioritization of features based on value, maintaining quality standards, and fostering team collaboration. By avoiding the temptation to fast-track features and instead emphasizing incremental delivery, the team would have been able to deliver high-quality, valuable product features while addressing delays and concerns in a more sustainable way.

The issue is the lead is just fast tracking the work and not addressing the feed back from the rest of the team. For all we know, he is over looking gaps, scheduling too much work, etc. involve the team and use tools better processes, and root cause the issues before they become issues.
