Project Management Professional Practice Question

You are leading a 12-person hybrid project to modernize an internal application. Mid-sprint, the UX designer and technical lead often wait a full day for you to approve minor design trade-offs, creating bottlenecks. In your next team meeting, you tell the group you will "bestow levels of decision-making authority" so decisions can be made closer to the work while still protecting scope, budget, and risk limits. You also update the team charter to reflect the new responsibilities and escalation paths. Which action BEST illustrates this approach?

  • Holding a retrospective focused on decision-making delays and asking the team to brainstorm efficiency ideas for you to review later.

  • Assigning additional backlog items to the technical lead to keep them productive while you maintain final approval on all decisions.

  • Formally documenting in the team charter that the technical lead may approve design changes up to a predefined cost and schedule threshold without seeking your approval.

  • Scheduling a daily change-control meeting where you review and approve every proposed design adjustment before work resumes.
