A software development team is working in an environment in which increased competition, demanding customer expectations, and new technological developments pose significant challenges.
How should the team plan improvements to their product?
A.
Follow the project schedule created at the start of the project.
B.
Hold regular retrospectives and have team members commit to specific actions.
C.
Allow team members to choose improvement items and trust their judgment.
D.
Encourage team members to write code that is tightly coupled together.
The correct answer is B — Hold regular retrospectives and have team members commit to specific actions.
Regular retrospectives enable the team to continuously reflect and adapt their processes and product based on new challenges or insights. Commitment to specific action items ensures accountability and fosters a culture of learning and responsiveness.
PMI Agile Practice Guide:
“Teams should hold regular retrospectives to identify areas for improvement and define concrete actions. These actions are tracked and reviewed in subsequent iterations.”
(PMI Agile Practice Guide, Section 5.8 – Retrospectives)
Mike Griffiths:
“Continuous improvement is a core agile value. Retrospectives allow teams to evaluate their performance and commit to actionable improvements.”
