Certified Associate in Project Management (CAPM) — Question 70

During a project team meeting, one of the team members suggested a product functionality that would immensely benefit the customer. The project manager documents the request for later analysis.

What is this an example of?

Answer options

• A. Managing the cost benefit
• B. Maintaining the product backlog
• C. Monitoring the traceability matrix
• D. Managing the scope

Correct answer: B

Explanation

This scenario illustrates the process of maintaining the product backlog, which involves documenting new feature requests for consideration in future iterations. The other options do not accurately describe this action; managing cost benefit relates to financial assessments, monitoring the traceability matrix is about tracking requirements, and managing scope focuses on defining and controlling what is included in the project.
