Posted by Tracey on Nov 03, 2026 at 03:07 AM

How could the project leader have avoided this?

ALed by example by encouraging the team to engage in consensus-driven decision making

BIterated the need for agile teams to make quick decisions, then followed up with that team member

CEmpowered a team member to facilitate decision making then made a final decision on behalf of the team

DRefrained from participating in the team's decision-making process, except to document and communicate results

Suggested Answer: A

Agile teams are self-organizing and should strive for consensus-based decision making. The PMI Agile Practice Guide (Section 4.3.1 Team Empowerment) supports facilitative leadership where leaders guide decision-making, not override it. Mike Griffiths in the PMI-ACP Exam Prep Book (Chapter 3: Team Performance) emphasizes that leaders should foster collaboration and respect diverse views to prevent disengagement.

Option A is correct: encouraging consensus builds ownership, trust, and engagement.

Option B and C still place control with the leader, reducing team empowerment.

Option D is too passive; agile leaders participate actively as facilitators.
