PMP · Question 42 · Task 7: Address and remove impediments, obstacles, and blockers for the team

During a sprint review, the development team reports that they cannot complete user story testing because the shared test environment is experiencing performance issues that make testing unreliable. This is blocking multiple stories from being marked as done. What should the project manager do FIRST?

Answer options:

A.

Accept that the stories cannot be completed this sprint and plan them for the next sprint

B.

Work with the infrastructure team to identify immediate solutions or alternative testing approaches

C.

Have the team focus on development of new stories while the testing environment is fixed

D.

Escalate the infrastructure issue to senior management for priority attention

How to approach this question

Look for proactive approaches that actively work to remove impediments rather than accepting or working around them.

B
Servant leaders actively work to remove impediments and blockers for their teams, exploring solutions and alternatives rather than simply accepting delays.
