Certified Associate in Project Management (CAPM) — Question 239

A product owner and team members are working on tasks to be completed in the next project iteration. What should they do at this point in the project?

Answer options

• A. Follow the plan as initially designed by the team and stakeholders.
• B. Refine the task list, incorporating tasks not completed in previous iterations.
• C. Shorten the delivery time of the next iteration in order to increase the management reserve.
• D. Perform an iteration retrospective with the team.

Correct answer: B

Explanation

The correct answer is B because refining the task list allows the team to address unfinished work and ensure that all necessary tasks are prioritized for the next iteration. Answer A is incorrect as sticking to the original plan may not account for new tasks that need attention. Answer C is not advisable since shortening the delivery time could compromise quality. Answer D, while beneficial for team reflection, does not directly address the immediate task preparation needed for the upcoming iteration.
