Exam PMP topic 1 question 84 discussion

Answer is A as the question is about client's manager agile needs

I believe that a quick agile ramp for the team member will be the best solution in this regard hence B

a combination of knowledge transfer sessions, active participation, and access to agile resources will help the client project manager effectively engage in daily meetings and contribute to the project’s success. Option B (proposing a knowledge transfer session) aligns well with this approach

Option A suggests recommending agile training programs for the client project manager. While agile training programs can be beneficial, recommending them alone may not sufficiently address the need for effective representation in daily meetings. The focus should be on transferring essential agile knowledge to ensure active and meaningful participation.

Option B recognizes the importance of providing essential agile knowledge transfer to the client team, aligning their understanding with the goals of daily meetings. This proactive step helps bridge the gap in agile experience and ensures effective collaboration. While option A suggests recommending agile training programs, option B takes it a step further by proposing a dedicated session for essential knowledge transfer, which can be more focused and tailored to the immediate needs of the project.

Re-read the question from project point of view, the important thing is to have effective daily meeting ongoing and not just the client's PM knowledge. A will just give the client's PM knowledge as per his schedule, and that can delay things. So, better to organize meeting and update everyone so that everyone is aligned and "Daily meeting" can progress well! So, answer is B.

daily goals is asked in question not the PM's availability schedule

some thing is wrong in Answer-B (they mention in the question client PM has no agile experience) and in answer-B they provide agile knowledge to "client team" not the client project manager.

needs to be inclusive

B session to be arranged for customer

I'm confused between A or B. But "best suit the client project manager's schedule" seem not reasonable. So I choose B.

B. The project manager should offer guidance and support to the client's project manager regarding agile principles, practices, and participation in daily meetings

I'm going with A. However the question is poorly worded. The assumption is what does the CLIENTS project manager need to do, to become familiar with the agile process so the client team can be properly represented in the daily meetings. If the question asked something like.. "how would a 'senior project manager' assist the clients project manager.." then sure, answer B would make the most sense.

Given that the client's project manager has no agile experience, it is crucial to facilitate their understanding of agile principles and practices.

A. Recommend agile training programs that best suit the client project manager's schedule

B - it's better to have the entire team aligned with the Agile training rather than only the project manager.

the question said: However, ""the client's project manager"" has no agile experience. Not the client's Team! just the manager!!
