An agile project manager observes that the Scrum team is falling behind on the completion of a particular sprint. What should the agile project manager do?
A.
Facilitate by providing directions to the team about how they can get back on track.
B.
Request key stakeholders to extend the sprint to enable the team to complete their tasks on time.
C.
Ask the customers to help the team complete the testing on time to be able to finish their tasks on time.
D.
Understand the impediments and facilitate issue resolution to enable the team to succeed.
The role of the agile project manager (or Scrum Master) is to facilitate the team's success by helping them identify and remove impediments that are blocking progress. This approach respects the team’s self-organization while supporting their work.
Other options are less suitable because:
A: Providing directions undermines the team’s autonomy and self-organization, which are core principles in Agile.
B: Extending the sprint is generally not recommended. Sprints should have a fixed timebox, and adjusting it can lead to unpredictability in the team's delivery cadence.
C: Asking customers to help the team complete the sprint tasks interferes with team responsibility and might not align with the customer’s role in the Agile process.
