A new product owner needs to manage the backlog of a high-visibility, fast-moving project that is consuming a considerable amount of time.
What should the product owner do?
The correct answer is C -- Seek regular input from project stakeholders, and reflect this input in the backlog's priorities. Agile is a stakeholder-driven process, and backlog refinement should be informed by continuous feedback. The product owner maximizes value by regularly reviewing stakeholder needs and reprioritizing accordingly.
From the PMI Agile Practice Guide:
''The product owner is responsible for maintaining the backlog and ensuring it reflects stakeholder priorities. Ongoing engagement with stakeholders ensures the product delivers maximum value.''
(PMI Agile Practice Guide, Section 5.2 -- Product Backlog Management)
Mike Griffiths adds:
''Agile product owners engage stakeholders continuously to update priorities and deliver value incrementally.''
(Mike Griffiths, PMI-ACP Exam Prep, Chapter 3 -- Value-Driven Delivery)
Incorrect options:
A is good practice but doesn't address the stakeholder engagement challenge.
B confuses story size with business value.
D lacks the agility required in a fast-moving project.
Answe r: C
A key resource is switching between projects to obtain more visibility and acclaim. However, project work has grown and become a burden.
What should the agile project leader do?
The correct answer is C --- Ask management to ensure that the resource is available to only one project at a time.
Agile promotes dedicated, stable teams over multitasking. Task-switching reduces productivity and leads to context-switching overhead. If a key resource is overburdened and switching between multiple projects, the best solution is to secure focused commitment by escalating to management for support.
PMI Agile Practice Guide:
''Agile teams should be dedicated and work on one project at a time. Splitting attention across multiple efforts reduces velocity and quality due to context switching.''
(PMI Agile Practice Guide, Section 6.1 -- Team Composition)
Mike Griffiths highlights:
''Effective agile teams are stable, long-lived, and dedicated. Shared resources create bottlenecks, undermine predictability, and impair team dynamics.''
(PMI-ACP Exam Prep, Chapter 4 -- Team Performance)
Incorrect options:
A may solve bandwidth issues but not focus or ownership.
B addresses symptoms, not the core issue of divided focus.
D tolerates a harmful practice that contradicts agile team stability.
Answe r: C
What should the agile project manager do?
Gold-plating---adding extra features not requested or prioritized---is an anti-pattern in agile. Agile emphasizes delivering the highest-priority features first, and product changes should always go through the Product Owner for prioritization and validation.
According to the PMI Agile Practice Guide (Section 5.1: Backlog and Value Delivery) and Mike Griffiths' PMI-ACP Exam Prep Book (Chapter 6: Value-Driven Delivery), when capacity is available, the team should pull more stories from the prioritized backlog, ensuring that all work aligns with stakeholder-defined value.
Option D is correct: confirm backlog priority and use time to deliver customer-prioritized value.
Option A supports scope creep.
Option B is partially correct but doesn't optimize the time to deliver value.
Option C perpetuates gold-plating and undermines value alignment.
The manager of the team is responsible for delivering a specific initiative within the organization. They are preparing for the monthly project review meeting, where they will present the current state of this initiative. The agile project lead sends the manager the following email with the initiative's current status.
Which summaries are correct and will be presented during the monthly project review? (Refer to
the email and exhibits to the Team Manager)
Step 1: Identifying Remaining MVP Story Points
From the backlog, the MVP-related stories that are not started include:
Total remaining MVP story points = 4 + 21 + 5 = 30
Step 2: Projected Sprint Completion
Midway through an iteration, an agile team learns that a team member will be unavailable for the next two iterations. As a high-performance team, what should the team do?
The correct answer is D -- Assume the team member's tasks to meet iteration goals and notify the Product Owner. Agile teams are self-organizing and accountable. High-performing teams take ownership of shared goals and redistribute work as needed to maintain commitment.
From the PMI Agile Practice Guide:
''High-performing agile teams collaborate to deliver sprint goals, adapting to changes such as unavailability of team members. They adjust workload and communicate impacts transparently.''
(PMI Agile Practice Guide, Section 4.3 -- Team Performance and Self-Organization)
Mike Griffiths explains:
''When team composition changes, the team must redistribute work to ensure delivery. Ownership, trust, and flexibility are core traits of high-performing agile teams.''
(Mike Griffiths, PMI-ACP Exam Prep, Chapter 4 -- Team Performance)
Incorrect options:
A signals dysfunction and abdicates team responsibility.
B implies external management of team staffing.
C violates the principle of self-organization.
