PMI Agile Certified Practitioner (PMI-ACP) — Question 158

A product owner obtains customer confirmation on product requirements and provides them to the team. After explaining the user stories, the product owner receives agreement for acceptance from the team.
What should the team do next?

Answer options

• A. Use agile estimation techniques to create a shared understanding of when the user stories will be completed
• B. Agree upon development and testing activities for the user stories
• C. Complete the user stories, and provide a demo for the product owner and customer
• D. Complete the user stories, and hold a retrospective to discuss them

Correct answer: A

Explanation

The correct answer is A because using agile estimation techniques will help the team create a shared understanding of how long it will take to complete the user stories, which is essential for planning. Options B, C, and D do not prioritize establishing a timeline for completion, which is critical after receiving agreement on the user stories.
