    PMP · Question 75 · Task 4: Empower team members and stakeholders

    A project manager wants to empower a mature, high-performing agile team to make more autonomous decisions about their technical approaches, process improvements, and sprint planning. The team has consistently delivered value and demonstrated strong collaboration over the past 18 months. Which TWO actions should the project manager take to effectively empower the team while maintaining appropriate oversight?

    Answer options:

    A.

    Remove all project manager involvement and let the team operate completely independently

    B.

    Define clear decision-making boundaries and constraints within which the team can operate autonomously

    C.

    Create detailed decision-making procedures and approval processes for all team choices

    D.

    Require the team to document and justify all autonomous decisions for management review

    E.

    Establish regular coaching sessions to provide guidance and support when the team requests it

    F.

    Limit empowerment to low-risk, routine decisions to minimize potential negative impacts

    How to approach this question

    Select TWO approaches that provide meaningful autonomy with appropriate boundaries and ongoing support rather than complete independence or excessive control.
