PMI Agile Certified Practitioner (PMI-ACP) — Question 103

During planning for the next iteration, an agile team identifies most of the story points that are expected to be delivered.
How should an agile practitioner work with the team to help identify the iteration's remaining scope?

Answer options

• A. Convince the team to stop planning and keep the size small
• B. Identify the technically minimal and achievable tasks
• C. Refer to the remaining prioritized backlog items
• D. Select some of the smallest items from the backlog

Correct answer: C

Explanation

The correct approach is to refer to the remaining prioritized backlog items, as this provides a structured way to identify what work is still needed for the iteration. Options A and B are not effective because stopping planning or focusing only on minimal tasks does not help in fully defining the iteration scope. Option D, while potentially useful, does not ensure that the highest priority items are addressed.
