PMP · Question 09 · Task 7: Address and remove impediments, obstacles, and blockers for the team
An agile development team reports during the daily stand-up that they cannot proceed with testing the core authentication module because the test environment is not available. The infrastructure team says it will take three more days to set up the environment, but this will block 60% of the current sprint work. The sprint ends in four days. What should the project manager do FIRST?
Answer options:
Add the delay to the risk register and inform the sponsor about the potential sprint failure
Work with the infrastructure team to explore options for expediting the environment or finding alternatives
Ask the development team to work on other user stories while waiting for the environment
Escalate to senior management to prioritize the infrastructure work immediately
