A team has different ideas on how to address a feature of a product under construction and; although the sprint began two days ago, they have still not reached a consensus. What should the project manager do?
A.
Ask the product owner, who is the key stakeholder, to choose among the different ideas
B.
Propose ideas to the group, ask everyone to vote, and then choose the most popular idea
C.
Schedule a session to give everyone the chance to express their opinions about each idea, then vote and decide
D.
Offer an opinion about the pros and cons of each idea and try to reach a consensus in a facilitated meeting
Initially answered D. But having read the question again, its implying that the PM is the one providing the pros and cos to the team and they have to decide based on his opinion. So I get why its C.
The project manager should **D. Offer an opinion about the pros and cons of each idea and try to reach a consensus in a facilitated meeting**. In Agile methodologies, it's important to foster a collaborative environment where every team member feels heard and their opinions valued. Facilitating a meeting where each idea's pros and cons are discussed can help the team reach a consensus. This approach promotes shared understanding and buy-in from all team members, which can lead to more effective implementation of the chosen idea.
While Option C promotes open communication and inclusivity by allowing each team member to express their opinions, Option D involving the project manager in offering insights and facilitating the discussion might lead to a more guided and informed decision-making process within the sprint's time constraints.
C. Schedule a session to give everyone the chance to express their opinions about each idea, then vote and decide.
In an agile environment, it's important to promote collaboration and decision-making within the team. When team members have different ideas on how to address a feature, scheduling a session where everyone can express their opinions, discuss the pros and cons of each idea, and then vote to decide is a good approach. This allows for open communication, transparency, and involvement of all team members in the decision-making process, which aligns with agile principles. The project manager should facilitate the meeting to ensure it stays focused and productive.
Team has different ideas on how to address a feature of a product under construction. This means, they have difference of opnion on the implementation part which is a technical aspect. The team knows better that PO or the PM. In that case, they need to just choose one of their proposed ideas and the Pm should just support them.
