Certified Associate in Project Management (CAPM) — Question 125

At the end of the third iteration, the project team gathers to discuss the stories to be implemented in the next iteration. What should the team do during this session?

Answer options

• A. Develop a user story analysis based on the work done, depicting the current status, S-curve, schedule variance (SV), and planned value (PV).
• B. Run a spike to ensure all information available is correct and then decide which stories to implement.
• C. Bring up all risks for implementing the user stories and discuss possible solutions.
• D. Plan the backlog by estimating and reprioritizing the user stories as new information becomes available.

Correct answer: D

Explanation

The correct answer is D because planning the backlog involves estimating and reprioritizing user stories based on the latest insights, which is essential for effective iteration planning. Option A focuses on analysis rather than planning, B suggests a spike that may not be necessary if the information is already clear, and C emphasizes risk discussion instead of backlog organization.
