    PMP · Question 39 · Task 4: Empower team members and stakeholders

    A project manager wants to empower a mature agile team to make more autonomous decisions about their work processes and technical approaches. The team has demonstrated strong collaboration and delivery capabilities over the past year. Which TWO actions should the project manager take to effectively empower the team?

    Answer options:

    A.

    Remove all oversight and let the team operate completely independently

    B.

    Define clear boundaries and constraints within which the team can make autonomous decisions

    C.

    Create detailed procedures for all decisions the team is authorized to make

    D.

    Require the team to document all decisions for management review

    E.

    Assign decision-making authority only for low-risk, routine decisions

    F.

    Establish regular check-ins to provide support and guidance when needed

    How to approach this question

    Select TWO approaches that provide autonomy with appropriate boundaries and ongoing support rather than complete independence or excessive control.

    Full Answer

    Effective empowerment requires clear boundaries for autonomous decision-making combined with ongoing support and guidance to ensure success within organizational constraints.

    Common mistakes

    Students often choose complete independence or procedural approaches rather than recognizing the need for bounded autonomy with support.
