Management decides to set up a new project to exploit an emergent market opportunity. Management suggests using an agile approach that is currently working for another project.
What should the agile leader do next?
A.
Conduct a workshop for all key stakeholders to analyze the case and decide on the proper approach.
B.
Suggest an approach that was successful in a previous project.
C.
Accept the manager ' s suggestion and avoid unnecessary conflicts and delays.
D.
Work with the team to analyze the market opportunity and create a tailored agile approach if needed.
The correct answer is D — Work with the team to analyze the market opportunity and create a tailored agile approach if needed.
Agile promotes context-based tailoring. Just because an approach works well in one project doesn’t guarantee it will fit another. The agile leader should collaborate with the team to analyze current needs and adapt or design the most suitable process accordingly.
PMI Agile Practice Guide:
“There is no one-size-fits-all approach. Agile methods should be tailored to suit the project context and objectives.”
(PMI Agile Practice Guide, Section 2.1 – Tailoring Agile)
Mike Griffiths:
“Teams must evaluate project needs and customize their process accordingly. Blind reuse of past methods often fails to address unique challenges.”
(PMI-ACP Exam Prep, Chapter 1 – Agile Principles and Mindset)
Incorrect options:
A involves stakeholders, but D emphasizes team and tailoring for delivery.
