Answer analysis
Option-by-option breakdown
For each option: why learners choose it and why it is or isn't the right answer here.
- ✓
Escalate the issue to the Project Manager for logging and resolution.
Why this is correct
Team Managers escalate unresolvable issues to the Project Manager.
- ✗
Escalate directly to Corporate, Programme Management or Portfolio Direction.
Why it's wrong here
Corporate management is too high for inter-team project issues; the Project Manager handles project-level issue resolution.
- ✗
Raise an Exception Report to the Project Board immediately.
Why it's wrong here
The Project Manager must first attempt to resolve the issue within stage tolerances before triggering a formal project board exception.
- ✗
Ignore the conflict and let the teams figure it out to preserve agile self-organization.
Why it's wrong here
Ignoring unresolved cross-team dependencies threatens stage delivery and governance.
