Suggest pair programming during the retrospective.
B.
Ask the product owner to re-prioritize the user stories at the next retrospective.
C.
Re-estimate the story points with team members at the next iteration planning meeting.
D.
Assign less complex user stories to the inexperienced software engineer at the next iteration planning meeting.
The Answer Is:
A
This question includes an explanation.
Explanation:
Pair programming is a proven agile technique for improving quality, sharing knowledge, and ramping up less experienced developers. The PMI Agile Practice Guide (Section 5.5: Quality and Engineering Practices) and Mike Griffiths’ PMI-ACP Exam Prep Book (Chapter 3: Team Performance) recommend using pair programming to improve team cohesion and performance when skill gaps are affecting velocity.
Option A is correct: pair programming supports learning and improves delivery quality.
Option B misuses the retrospective—it’s not for backlog prioritization.
Option C may be helpful, but estimation changes don’t directly address the skill gap.
Option D may reduce risk short-term but doesn’t help the team improve or grow.
