How should the team resolve this?

When teams face conflicts about priorities or direction, they shouldfall back on agile values and principles. According to theAgile Manifesto and PMI Agile Practice Guide (Section 2.2 Agile Mindset), decisions should be grounded in values such ascollaboration, sustainability, simplicity, and delivering customer value.

Mike Griffiths in thePMI-ACP Exam Prep Book (Chapter 2: Agile Principles and Mindset)highlights that teams should beself-organizing, and consensus should emerge from aligning decisions with core agile values—rather than defaulting to top-down directives or contractual obligations.

Option Ais correct: referring to theagile framework and team valuesenables internal resolution in a collaborative and value-driven way.

Option B(contracts) andOption C(priority list) are more rigid and transactional.

Option Dbypasses the team’s ability to self-resolve, which is not ideal for a mature agile team.
