A software project using an agile approach is facing quality issues with every release, generating many production problems. What should the project manager do to fix the problem and improve the quality?
A.
Seek extra funding approval with the sponsor to replace junior team members for more experienced ones
B.
Create a reward system granting incentives to the team members who are able to catch more defects
C.
Hire an external company to add an additional layer of testing, making sure that the final product is well inspected before releasing.
D.
Use the retrospective meeting to better understand the root cause of the quality problems and put together a plan with the team to address the problems
The retrospective meeting is a key practice in agile methodology that allows the team to inspect and adapt their processes and performance after each iteration. The retrospective meeting helps the team to identify what went well, what went wrong, and what can be improved in the next iteration. By using the retrospective meeting, the project manager can facilitate a collaborative and constructive discussion with the team to find out the root cause of the quality issues and devise a plan to fix them. The plan may include actions such as implementing better engineering practices, enhancing communication and collaboration, increasing testing coverage, or applying feedback from customers and stakeholders. The retrospective meeting also helps the team to learn from their mistakes, celebrate their successes, and foster a culture of continuous improvement123.
