Explanation
= According to the PMBOK Guide, 7th edition, the project manager should select the appropriate delivery approach for the project based on the project characteristics, stakeholder needs, and organizational context1. The project manager should also facilitate the team's transition to the chosen delivery approach by providing guidance, coaching, and support2. Therefore, the project manager should brainstorm with the team to understand the specifics of the team's project and to identity possible alternative approaches for the team (option D). This can help the project manager to tailor the agile approach to the project's needs and constraints, and to address the team's concerns and expectations. The project manager should also conduct training sessions with the team so that the team can understand what the agile approach and mindset are (option E). This can help the team to learn the principles, values, and practices of agile, and to develop the skills and competencies required for agile delivery3. Interviewing the most resistant team members to persuade them to try to accept an agile approach (option A) may not be effective, as it may create more resistance and resentment among the team members. The project manager should instead involve the whole team in the decision-making process and seek their feedback and input. Meeting with management to explain the team's resistance to the agile approach and request that they formally ask the team to implement agile (option B) may not be helpful, as it may undermine the team's autonomy and motivation. The project manager should instead communicate with management the benefits and challenges of the agile approach, and seek their support and sponsorship. Asking the team to identify the product backlog and create a kanban board for the team to manage and follow the approach (option C) may not be appropriate, as it may be too premature and prescriptive. The project manager should first ensure that the team understands the rationale and the basics of the agile approach, and then collaboratively define the project scope and the workflow with the team.
