What should the agile practitioner do next?

Agile teams evaluate new tools or technologies through spikes—time-boxed research or experimentation tasks. According to the PMI Agile Practice Guide (Section 5.2: Spikes and Exploration) and Mike Griffiths’ PMI-ACP Exam Prep Book (Chapter 6: Adaptive Planning), the appropriate way to introduce new technology is to engage the team in the decision and create a backlog item for a spike to evaluate its viability.

Option C is correct: it follows agile collaboration and backlog grooming practices.

Option A skips team consensus and formal prioritization.

Option B contradicts self-organizing team principles.

Option D may delay necessary action and is better suited for process discussions, not technical trials.
