PMP · Question 16 · Task 5: Ensure team members/stakeholders are adequately trained

A project manager is leading a team that includes several junior developers who are new to agile practices. During sprint planning, these team members consistently underestimate their tasks, leading to incomplete sprints. What should the project manager do to address this situation?

Answer options:

Assign a senior developer to review and adjust all estimates made by junior team members

Facilitate estimation sessions where junior and senior developers collaborate to share knowledge and improve estimation accuracy

Reduce the sprint capacity to account for the estimation inaccuracy

Require junior developers to complete estimation training before participating in sprint planning

How to approach this question

Look for approaches that build team capability through collaboration and knowledge sharing rather than creating dependencies or excluding team members.

Full Answer

Servant leadership focuses on developing team capabilities. Collaborative estimation sessions provide learning opportunities while improving accuracy.

Common mistakes

Creating dependencies on senior members or excluding junior members from the process instead of using it as a development opportunity.
