The correct answer is C — Ask the team member to update daily progress on the information radiators.
In Agile, transparency and self-organization are key. Information radiators (e.g., task boards, digital dashboards) allow all team members and stakeholders to see the current state of work at any time. If a team member cannot attend stand-ups, they should still update their tasks on the board so that others are informed.
PMI Agile Practice Guide:
“Information radiators ensure transparent communication of progress, risks, and blockers to all team members and stakeholders. These should be updated in real-time or daily by those responsible.”
(PMI Agile Practice Guide, Section 5.6 – Information Radiators)
Mike Griffiths:
“Task boards and progress charts allow anyone to see project status without waiting for meetings. Team members must take responsibility for keeping them current.”
(PMI-ACP Exam Prep, Chapter 5 – Adaptive Planning)
Incorrect options:
A punishes the team for one member’s lack of participation and doesn’t solve the communication issue.
B reintroduces a command-and-control model, reducing team ownership.
