During a six-week iteration, an issue is identified by a team member.

The correct answer is B — Communicate the issue to the team in the next stand-up meeting.

Agile emphasizes early detection and resolution of impediments through daily communication. The Daily Stand-up is the appropriate forum to raise issues, so the entire team is aware and can decide collaboratively how to proceed.

From the PMI Agile Practice Guide:

“Daily stand-ups allow team members to communicate problems and identify impediments early. The team collaboratively determines how to respond to issues raised.”

(PMI Agile Practice Guide, Section 5.4 — Stand-up Meetings)

Mike Griffiths adds:

“Issues must be shared early and openly. The stand-up is designed to expose blockers and ensure collective team awareness and decision-making.”

(PMI-ACP Exam Prep, Chapter 6 – Problem Detection and Resolution)

Option A skips collaboration and bypasses the team’s self-organizing nature. Options C and D delay the communication until the retrospective, which would result in lost time and potentially compound the issue.

Answer: B
