PMI Agile Certified Practitioner (PMI-ACP) — Question 113

A company is considering developing a new, complex application that will require a large initial investment. However, if successful, the profit potential is high.
When preparing an analysis, what should be used to encourage stakeholders who are concerned about project failure to authorize the initial investment?

Answer options

• A. Calculated planned percent complete (PPC)
• B. Many small minimally marketable features (MMFs)
• C. Story points rather than cost estimates
• D. Calculated earned value (EV)

Correct answer: B

Explanation

Using Many small minimally marketable features (MMFs) allows for incremental development, reducing risk and demonstrating progress, which can reassure stakeholders. The other options, while useful in different contexts, do not directly address stakeholder concerns about project failure and the need for a substantial initial investment.
