Exam PMI-ACP topic 1 question 167 discussion

Self-Organization: Agile teams are self-organizing and should be empowered to make decisions about how to best complete their work, including whether to incorporate a spike. Balancing Workload: The team can assess their current workload and determine the best way to balance existing work with the spike, ensuring that both are addressed efficiently. Spike Importance: A timebox spike can provide valuable insights and potentially more efficient ways to deliver reports, which could benefit the project in the long run. Team Autonomy: Encouraging the team to self-organize fosters a sense of ownership and responsibility, leading to higher motivation and better outcomes.

The Scrum Master generally has no direct decision-making authority over the work of the team, but rather works to ensure that the team is self-organized. Obstacles are identified and passed on to the appropriate people to be resolved.

C. Defer the Spike: Delaying the spike might postpone valuable insights and improvements, potentially prolonging inefficient practices and increasing rework later. D. Immediate Spike: Directing the team to prioritize the spike might disrupt their existing workflow and create pressure, potentially hindering creativity and problem-solving

By encouraging self-organization, the project leader enables the team to make the best decision based on their understanding of the work, their capacity, and the potential benefits of the spike. This aligns with Agile values of flexibility, adaptiveness, and shared responsibility, leading to more informed and sustainable solutions C. Defer the Spike: Delaying the spike might postpone valuable insights and improvements, potentially prolonging inefficient practices and increasing rework later.
