A key resource is switching between projects to obtain more visibility and acclaim. However, project work has grown and become a burden.
What should the agile project leader do?
The correct answer is C --- Ask management to ensure that the resource is available to only one project at a time.
Agile promotes dedicated, stable teams over multitasking. Task-switching reduces productivity and leads to context-switching overhead. If a key resource is overburdened and switching between multiple projects, the best solution is to secure focused commitment by escalating to management for support.
PMI Agile Practice Guide:
''Agile teams should be dedicated and work on one project at a time. Splitting attention across multiple efforts reduces velocity and quality due to context switching.''
(PMI Agile Practice Guide, Section 6.1 -- Team Composition)
Mike Griffiths highlights:
''Effective agile teams are stable, long-lived, and dedicated. Shared resources create bottlenecks, undermine predictability, and impair team dynamics.''
(PMI-ACP Exam Prep, Chapter 4 -- Team Performance)
Incorrect options:
A may solve bandwidth issues but not focus or ownership.
B addresses symptoms, not the core issue of divided focus.
