    PMP · Question 34 · Task 6: Plan and manage schedule

    A project manager is leading an agile project where the team has been consistently missing sprint commitments. Analysis shows that the team tends to overcommit during sprint planning and underestimate the complexity of user stories. The team wants to improve their commitment reliability. Which TWO actions should the project manager recommend?

    Answer options:

    A.

    Reduce sprint duration to make commitments more manageable

    B.

    Implement story point estimation with team consensus to improve estimation accuracy

    C.

    Have the product owner make capacity decisions to reduce team overcommitment

    D.

    Use historical velocity data to guide future sprint capacity planning

    E.

    Add buffer time to all user story estimates to account for complexity

    F.

    Assign story estimation to the most experienced team members only

    How to approach this question

    Look for evidence-based approaches that improve estimation accuracy (collaborative techniques) and capacity planning (historical data) rather than external controls or artificial buffers.

    Full Answer

    B,D
    Agile teams improve commitment reliability through better estimation (collaborative techniques like story points) and empirical capacity planning (using historical velocity data). These approaches address root causes rather than symptoms.

    Common mistakes

    Reducing team autonomy, adding artificial buffers, or making structural changes that don't address estimation and capacity planning issues.
