Show Suggested Answer

Suggested Answer: C

To lead the Solution Development Team effectively during the first Structured Timebox, the Project Manager should:

C . Attend the Daily Stand-up and discuss any problems at the end.

Attending the Daily Stand-up meetings allows the Project Manager to stay informed about the team's progress, challenges, and any blockers they might be facing. It offers an opportunity for the Project Manager to provide support, guidance, and decision-making where necessary, without disrupting the team's autonomy and self-organization. This approach encourages open communication, quick resolution of issues, and maintains the Agile principle of collaboration and continuous improvement. Discussing problems at the end of the meeting ensures that any issues are addressed promptly, keeping the Timebox on track.

Haha, option B is like the Project Manager going on a coffee break while the team is working. Not very helpful, if you ask me.

Option B is just ridiculous. The Project Manager should definitely be involved, but in a supportive, not controlling, manner.

Option D seems like the way to go. The Project Manager should keep the team informed and updated on the progress, but not micromanage the Timebox process.
