PMI Agile Certified Practitioner (PMI-ACP) — Question 146

Toward the end of a project, the product owner discovers that the project has a high probability of failure due to a critical feature not functioning as expected.
What should the product owner do?

Answer options

• A. Terminate the project to cut losses
• B. Review possible options and make an informed decision to cut losses based on delivered business value
• C. Bring in experts to increase the probability of success
• D. Continue the project, release the product without the failing feature, and fix the feature in a subsequent release

Correct answer: B

Explanation

The correct answer is B because it emphasizes the importance of evaluating options based on the value delivered before making a decision. Option A is too abrupt, and terminating the project might not consider the business value already created. Option C may not address the root issue effectively, and option D could lead to a product that does not meet customer expectations, thereby risking future success.
