Certified Associate in Project Management (CAPM) — Question 235

A project sponsor has requested a clear delivery roadmap for the implementation of a complex system that does not have clear and stable requirements. How should the team address the project sponsor's request?

Answer options

• A. Develop a product backlog with all the required user stories.
• B. Develop a project schedule with sufficient lag between tasks.
• C. Develop a release plan with milestones for major features.
• D. Develop a prototype to determine the delivery time required.

Correct answer: C

Explanation

The correct answer is C because developing a release plan with milestones allows for flexibility in addressing changing requirements while providing the project sponsor with a clear timeline for major features. Options A and D focus on specific elements rather than an overall delivery roadmap, while option B does not effectively communicate the project's progression.
