20+ practice questions focused on Leadership — one of the most tested topics on the PMI Agile Certified Practitioner (PMI-ACP), 2024-revamped exam outline (PMI-ACP) exam. Each question includes a detailed explanation so you learn why the right answer is correct.
Start Leadership PracticeHow do you handle a conflict between two product owners?
Explanation: Facilitating a discussion to align product goals is correct because in Agile, conflicts between product owners are resolved through collaboration and shared understanding of value delivery, not by unilateral decisions. The Scrum Master or Agile leader should act as a facilitator to help both POs articulate their priorities, identify overlaps, and agree on a unified product vision. This preserves the principle of self-organizing teams and stakeholder collaboration.
How can a leader best promote self-organization within an agile team?
Explanation: Self-organization means the team decides how to accomplish its work. A leader best promotes it by clearly defining the objective (the 'what' and 'why') and then delegating the 'how' to the team, giving them autonomy, mastery, and purpose. This shifts the leader's role from directing tasks to removing impediments and coaching.
A team member is consistently negative during meetings. As a leader, what is your first step?
Explanation: Negativity in meetings is usually a symptom of an underlying issue — unclear priorities, unresolved conflict, burnout, or feeling unheard — so the leader's first step is a private conversation to understand the root cause before taking any corrective action. Addressing it privately preserves the team member's dignity and gives the leader real information rather than reacting to surface behavior.
A team is consistently missing their sprint goals. What is the most effective way to empower the team to improve?
Explanation: The retrospective is the team's dedicated inspect-and-adapt ceremony, and root-cause analysis (such as the Five Whys or fishbone diagram) within it surfaces the systemic process blockers causing missed sprint goals. This empowers the team to own the improvement rather than having a fix imposed from outside. Velocity data and personnel changes do not address underlying process defects.
Your team has high technical skill but lacks collaboration, with members working in silos. Which technique is most effective to foster a collaborative culture?
Explanation: Mob programming is a collaborative technique where the entire team works together on the same code at the same time, often with one driver and others navigating. This forces communication, knowledge sharing, and collective ownership, which directly breaks down silos and fosters collaboration. It is especially effective for complex stories where diverse perspectives are needed.
