The correct answer is D - Encourage the team member to use experimentation/spikes for continuous improvement and help the team understand why it is important. Agile encourages learning and experimentation through techniques like spikes (time-boxed research or exploration activities).
From the PMI Agile Practice Guide:
"Agile encourages teams to experiment and learn continuously. Time-boxed spikes can be used to investigate alternative designs, reduce uncertainty, and support informed decisions." (PMI Agile Practice Guide, Section 5.3 - Spikes and Uncertainty Reduction) Mike Griffiths supports this:
"Spikes are short, time-limited investigations into a design or technical approach. They are a vital part of agile development for reducing risk, exploring alternatives, and enabling innovation." (Mike Griffiths, PMI-ACP Exam Prep, Chapter 7 - Continuous Improvement) Incorrect options:
* A and C discourage innovation and agility.
* B defers action rather than enabling real-time learning.
