The correct answer is C — Facilitate team brainstorming of the risks resulting from complexity for the risk register.
Technical complexity introduces risks that must be identified and managed early. Agile leaders support teams by facilitating collaborative risk identification, not by dictating solutions. Brainstorming sessions help surface concerns and lead to proactive mitigation strategies.
PMI Agile Practice Guide:
“Risks are best identified through team collaboration. Facilitated risk identification sessions encourage broad participation and lead to better awareness and ownership of potential issues.”
(PMI Agile Practice Guide, Section 7.3 – Risk Management)
Mike Griffiths:
“In agile projects, technical risks are treated early. Collaborative identification and visibility are key to creating a risk-adjusted delivery plan.”
(PMI-ACP Exam Prep, Chapter 6 – Problem Detection and Resolution)
Incorrect options:
A is valid long-term, but brainstorming comes first for awareness.
B limits risk planning to a fixed period (Sprint 0), which may not be enough.
D promotes innovation but not structured risk identification.
