In agile, teams are empowered to identify and solve problems collaboratively. When a technical concern arises, such as a limitation in the current technology stack, it is common practice to initiate a spike or research activity to explore alternative solutions. According to the PMI Agile Practice Guide (Section 5.2: Spikes and Technical Investigation) and Mike Griffiths’ PMI-ACP Exam Prep Book (Chapter 7: Problem Detection and Resolution), the best approach is to encourage the team to investigate the issue collaboratively.
Option A is correct: engaging the team in research fosters ownership and solution-based thinking.
Option B circumvents team decision-making and undermines self-organization.
Option C is premature—this is a technical issue, not a user requirement.
Option D may be helpful, but action should start with the team exploring options.
