A project is in progress with a team that is new to agile approaches. After the first sprint review, the team performance begins slipping, and the conclusion is that there is not an adequate flow of work for the team. What should the project manager do?
Answer: A
Discussing the issue with stakeholders (option D) can be a useful action in many situations. However, in the context of the question, the primary challenge appears to be related to the "flow of work" for the team within an agile framework. The product owner plays a crucial role in maintaining a prioritized product backlog and ensuring that there's a steady stream of well-defined and prioritized work for the development team. If the flow of work is inadequate, it's often a sign that the product owner may need more guidance, training, or support to effectively maintain the backlog and liaise between stakeholders and the development team.

Answer: A
During iteration two of a project with two teams (A and B), the project manager is concerned that there are two critical activities from team A that must be started in iteration four. Additionally, these two activities are dependent on an activity from team B that has not yet been prioritized. What should the project manager do?
Answer: C
C. Ensure team B prioritizes the dependent activity in iteration three. It is important for the project manager to ensure that the dependent activity from team B is prioritized in iteration three so that team A can start the critical activities in iteration four without delay. This will help ensure that the project stays on schedule and that the critical activities are completed on time. Canceling the current iteration and rescheduling it with the dependent activity would cause unnecessary delays and added costs to the project. Assigning the two critical activities to team B in iteration two would not address the dependency on the activity from team B and could lead to further delays or complications.
