Certified Associate in Project Management (CAPM) — Question 153

An adaptive team is working on a mobile banking application. The team conducted their sprint demo, which included 12 stories that were completed. This was the last sprint before the product was to be launched in the beta phase. One of the attendees from marketing noticed that a requested enhancement to share on social media was still in the product backlog.

Why was the product still determined to be ready for delivery?

Answer options

• A. The development team completed all of the stories identified by the product owner as having the highest customer value.
• B. The development team ran out of time and did not pull the social media story from the backlog.
• C. The sprint demo went smoothly and the team did not find any open issues.
• D. The social media story is a marketing priority and less important than other priorities.

Correct answer: A

Explanation

The correct answer is A because the product owner prioritized the stories based on customer value, and all high-value stories were completed. Option B is incorrect as it suggests a lack of time was the reason, rather than prioritization. Option C is not relevant since the demo's smoothness does not affect the readiness for delivery. Option D incorrectly assumes that the social media feature was of lesser importance, while the focus should be on completed high-value stories.
