Exam PMP topic 1 question 443 discussion

A. I don't think it's the part that produces too many results. B. The team's lack of direction and motivation doesn't seem to be related to the problem. C. PM pushed ahead with the retrospective. You're probably considering the lesson, right? D. Likewise C. E. There appears to be indifference to further improvement due to reduced preparation and discussion time. This makes E seem clear. C and D don't seem clear. I'm not sure which answer is A or B. I'm not sure about B, and A doesn't seem that clear. So let's go with BE.

Makes most senst, A is up there after

B. A lack of direction and motivation for the team in the workshop E. A focus on the negative and a disinterest in further improvements

Option A is not the answer because PM is planning to reduce the time. So there will be no time given for lot of discussion. Option C is not the answer because, lessons learned from other teams will generally be not discussed in retrospectives

B. A lack of direction and motivation for the team: When project retrospectives are rushed due to time constraints, there may not be enough time to adequately prepare, facilitate, and guide the discussion. This can lead to a lack of direction, meaningful insights, and a missed opportunity to motivate the team by focusing on accomplishments and identifying positive aspects of the project. E. A focus on the negative and a disinterest in further improvements: Rushed retrospectives can often result in discussions being dominated by issues, problems, or negative aspects of the project. There may not be sufficient time to explore constructive improvements or identify actionable items for future projects. This can lead to a disinterest in participating in retrospectives, as team members might perceive them as unproductive or overly negative.

B. A lack of direction and motivation for the team in the workshop E. A focus on the negative and a disinterest in further improvements

B - Without adequate time for reflection and discussion, the team may struggle to identify areas for improvement or develop actionable solutions. C - By rushing through the retrospective or limiting its scope, the project manager may miss out on valuable knowledge and experiences shared by other teams. This can result in the team missing out on potential improvements or repeating mistakes that could have been avoided.

I think A and E are the correct answers. While the PM's action is better than skipping project retrospectives by a project sponsor, the shortened time can lead the team members to actions like A and E. (Although, there is a possibility for B as well, I think it is less likely compared to the occurrence of A and E.) Also, I think both C and E are considered causes rather than outcomes of the issue mentioned in the problem.

A and B

Option A - If discussion is reduced , how could it yield results? Option C- irrelevant. If you can not identify your own problem, why bother considering others. Option D- irrelevant

B : A lack of direction and motivation for the team in the workshop I believe as time is shortened , direction is lost to discuss all the topics of what went good , bad and improvement areas. As nothing gets concluded , even motivation will be low. E: Focus on negative and disinterest in further improvements Reason is as time is shortened , improvements may not be taken serious and discussed to take up in next sprint.

AB is better

Why A while the question mentioned that reduce time of discussion. I think C and E.

A and B A. A lot of discussions that yield no results or possibly too many results: Without sufficient time to prepare and facilitate the retrospective, the team may not be able to effectively identify and prioritize the most important issues to discuss. As a result, the discussions may not yield any useful results or may cover too many issues without enough depth. B. A lack of direction and motivation for the team in the workshop: If the retrospective feels rushed and disorganized, team members may feel demotivated and disengaged. They may not see the value in participating in the retrospective if they feel that their time is being wasted or if they don't see clear direction from the project manager.

I think BC is more reasonable as you are lowering your available time for discussions

Can explain why C?
