PMP · Question 65 · Task 1: Execute project with the urgency required to deliver business value

A project manager is leading a software development project using Scrum methodology. The development team reports that they are spending too much time in the daily stand-up meetings because team members are providing detailed technical explanations rather than brief status updates. The meetings are running 45 minutes instead of the recommended 15 minutes. What should the project manager do?

Answer options:

A.

Eliminate the daily stand-up meetings to give the team more development time

B.

Reduce the frequency of stand-up meetings to every other day

C.

Coach the team on effective stand-up practices and establish time-boxed formats

D.

Assign a different person to facilitate each stand-up meeting

How to approach this question

When Scrum ceremonies are ineffective, coach the team on proper practices rather than eliminating or modifying the ceremonies.

Full Answer

C.Coach the team on effective stand-up practices and establish time-boxed formats✓ Correct
C
Daily stand-ups provide important coordination value in Scrum. When they're ineffective, coaching the team on proper practices (brief status updates, time-boxing) maintains the benefits while improving efficiency.

Common mistakes

Eliminating valuable ceremonies, changing Scrum framework elements, or making structural changes without addressing the root cause of ineffective practices.
