During an agile transformation, executive leadership fears losing control over project scope. What should the project manager do to mitigate this risk?

The correct answer proposes a balanced governance model that addresses executive leadership's concerns about control while embracing agile principles of team empowerment. This approach ensures necessary oversight without micromanaging, which is crucial for successful agile adoption. Incorrect options: Proposing a multilayered gate system based on risks and financial expenditures, involving the executive leadership team as needed, introduces bureaucracy that can hinder agile's iterative and adaptive nature. Assuring the executive leadership team that the current governance model will not be affected is unrealistic; agile transformations inherently involve changes to governance. Requiring the executive leadership team to approve all scope proposed by multiple agile teams creates a bottleneck, negating the benefits of empowered, self-organizing teams in agile.
