If there is a delay, it doesn't make sense to report it to the stakeholders. If there is a delay, you have to find the root cause. The answer is clearly C.

Selected Answer: C
To avoid the issue of schedule slippage in an agile development approach, the project manager should focus on empowering the team, establishing clear performance goals, and fostering a collaborative environment where the team can make decisions and continuously improve their processes. This approach aligns with agile principles and ensures that the team can effectively manage their work and deliver on project objectives.

While daily standup meetings are a part of agile practices, the focus should be on facilitating team collaboration and addressing impediments rather than just tracking and reporting. Escalating delays to stakeholders without empowering the team to resolve issues may not effectively address the root cause.

B seems not to make sense, project managers work with the team, PM should not escalate to stakeholders
