PMP · Question 03 · Task 5: Ensure team members/stakeholders are adequately trained

A high-performing team member in an agile project requests to attend a specialized training course that costs $3,000 and requires three days off work during a critical sprint. The training is relevant to the project's future phases but not the current sprint. Which TWO actions should the project manager take?

Answer options:

A.

Immediately approve the request to maintain high morale.

B.

Discuss the impact of the absence with the team to see if they can accommodate the workload.

C.

Reject the request because the current sprint is critical.

D.

Check the project budget and training policies to determine if the cost is permissible.

E.

Ask the team member to take the training during their personal vacation time.

F.

Escalate the request to the sponsor for approval.

How to approach this question

Select actions that balance team capacity (Agile principle) with administrative governance (PM responsibility).

The PM acts as a bridge. Checking the budget (D) ensures feasibility, and consulting the team (B) ensures the sprint goal isn't compromised.

Focusing only on the budget or only on the schedule without consulting the team.
