    PMP · Question 35 · Task 6: Build a team

    A project manager is leading a team that includes both experienced and junior developers.

    Use the estimates from experienced developers since they have more accurate historical data

    B.

    Facilitate estimation discussions where team members explain their reasoning and reach consensus

    C.

    Create separate estimation processes for experienced and junior developers

    D.

    Average the estimates from experienced and junior developers for each task
